You do not need to wait to be invited to a picnic or potluck to get some pasta and bean salad magic in your life. This is a weeknight’s dream meal if you ask me.

Fusilli Alla Puttanesca is an Italian pasta dish invented in Naples. I reinvented a whole-food, plant-based version with no oil or added salt which makes it a healthier version of an old world favorite. It’s delicious, or as I like to say, “restaurant worthy”, and comes together with just a few pantry items.
