Puttanesca with Red Sauce

I love puttanesca, it's seriously the best pasta! When we were younger, I HATED anchovies (still do!) but mum used to mash them up, with the capers and we wouldn't even notice hahaha I swear she would've done that with 99% of the food she gave us! This recipe is so easy, so quick and so delicious. You have to try it!
