Low Carb Puttanesca Sauce

Low Carb Puttanesca SauceLow Carb Puttanesca SauceLow Carb Puttanesca Sauce. While the word Puttanesca Sauce may or may not have some rather dubious origins, which you can look up if you wish, the bottom line is: It should be quite robust and flavorful and as you look at the list of ingredients you might imagine this to be true. It is extremely pungent and is said to have drawn men in off the streets.  So use a little imagination here.

Low Carb Puttanesca SauceThere are so many ways to use low carb puttanesca sauce and here are just a few suggestions: Obviously over spaghetti squash, with nicely sautéed chicken, or with any numbers of different fish. If you opt to use it over spaghetti squash it will serve four and will also serve four with a double recipe of Spaetzle noodles. If used with chicken or fish you should get 6-8 servings and I have listed nutritionals for all. If you decide to use with fish you can serve a large wedge of lemon along side.
