Dear Mr Chopped Judge...

...using anchovies in puttanesca sauce is not a creative use of the anchovy, it's how you make puttanesca sauce!

What in the hell kind of puttanesca sauce doesn't include anchovies?

Maybe he meant that in the context of the basket ingredients using the anchovies to make a puttanesca sauce was a creative idea but it sounded like he was talking about the use of the anchovies being creative. I dunno.

I s'pose. I'm biased, because pasta puttanesca is really, really, really easy and it's been one of my "dinner in a hurry" staple recipes for eight years, but even if it was the former, it's about a step above suggesting that it's a creative use of garlic to make aioli. Or garlic bread. (Or puttanesca sauce.)

Gorram it, now I WANT some pasta puttanesca. I love me some pasta puttanesca. I make it extra-umami-tastic.
