Mackerel Puttanesca Pasta
This punchy pasta dish makes a brilliant weeknight dinner—rich with bold Mediterranean flavours and ready in the time it takes your pasta to cook. Smo...ked mackerel adds depth and a dose of healthy omega-3s, while briny olives, capers, and a hit of chilli bring all the puttanesca vibes. We like to finish it off with a handful of fresh rocket because we think the peppery flavour goes well with mackerel, but you could use any leafy green you like. Go for wholewheat pasta, and if you want an extra hit of protein, choose a lentil or chickpea-based option.

nice and quick & very tasty
This recipe was quick and easy to follow. Had it with grains instead of pasta. Having the leftovers for next day lunch
Enjoyed this recipe it’s quick & easy & delivers a tasty meal.
So very tasty. Use smoked peppered chilled mackerel instead of tinned which was amazing.
Very quick and simple recipe and can be cooked by anyone! Great for a “fast food” meal that can be on the table in 20min. Love the flavour
Really tasty - and it was just as good on day 2, as a cold packed lunch!
Really tasty. Didn’t change a thing.
Simple and amazing! Wasn’t expecting to like it! Had no tinned tomatoes and used passata instead for something so quick this was beautiful!
I’ll definitely be making it again with all the correct ingredients, it was so easy & thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s so good that quantities are given for one serving.
