This dish is so quick to make, you can whip it up for lunch - especially if you have the pasta already cooked and stored in the fridge. Just reheat the pasta in the microwave or stir it into the hot sauce until heated through. Although this is not a traditional puttanesca sauce, the use of a bottled Italian dressing is a great short-cut that adds a lot of flavor, fast.
