Notes

To make a vegan version of this puttanesca sauce recipe, simply amp up the amount of olives you use in place of the anchovies, or add in some capers for an extra burst of umami. Leave off the burrata, and make sure you either finish the dish with a vegan-friendly hard cheese, or a handful of Pangrattato.
