Spring Green Puttanesca has all the salty, punchy flavors of a classic puttanesca—garlic, olives, capers, and anchovies— but shifted into something brighter and upgraded by the presence of spring produce.

It’s also a really good example of how a few strong ingredients can do most of the work. The olives, caper, anchovies, and garlic build the base of the sauce, while spring vegetables keep everything feeling fresh and balanced.
