Must Try Vegan Puttanesca – Your new favorite Dinner!

This meal is your new favorite!  This one pot vegan puttanesca is the new obsession in our house!  My kids even eat it (as long as I pick out the mushrooms lol)!

This recipe is so healthy and versatile.  We bulked it up with some eggplant in addition to the traditional puttanesca ingredients.

EGGPLANT – GREEN OLIVES – BLACK OLIVES – GARLIC – ONIONS – EVERYTHING GOOD!

Your family will go nuts for this recipe and it’s so quick and easy.  Plus it makes a lot for leftovers and you won’t dirty lots of pots and pans!  It’s also great for weight loss because of the low-calorie density and low-fat content.

This sauce was originally called the prostitution sauce or I even heard a story saying that wives who would cheat on their husbands while they were at work could whip this up at the last minute so their husbands would think they were home cooking all day! HA!

Whatever your status…lol…this only takes about 30 minutes and definitely tastes like it’s been simmering all day!

Enjoy this amazing vegan puttanesca comfort food!
