Pasta Puttanesca image

This pasta puttanesca recipe is great for a big gathering. It works well as a starter dish or as a main dish for a smaller group. One peeled, diced carrot may be used in place of the sugar for a milder, sweeter and healthier substitute.-Kathryn White, Pinehurst, North Carolina
