very good recipe to work with on the fly. I had a 6 or 7 okra that a friend gave to me and just put in enough onion equal to the okra and eyed the rest of the ingredients (+ garlic powder and cajun spice). Also, I didn't finely chop anything. these came out really good! I'm eatting them with sour cream.

I work at a coffee shop that serves only vegan food cooked on the premises. We also cook 10-20 servings of each meal, so I won't account for my measurements. I try to work with whatever produce I have, which was the kale in this case. I sauteed tofu in oil, adding spices (mostly italian herbs) until the tofu was cooked. I cooked the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes like in the recipe. I added crushed tomatoes and lots of spices and Italian seasoning. I added the Kale and used penne pasta. This came out delicious! This is a great recipe to reference even if you don't have all the ingredients. And guess what puttanesca mean??

I cut the oil to 1/2 cup and added 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter and threw in a bunch of chocolate chips. I left them in the oven for 35-40 minutes. It came out a bit crumbly but who cares? They are delicious! Maybe if I bake them a little longer? I'll try that next time.
