Elle's Easy Cod Puttanesca

I am not a big fish person. This recipe has cod, capers and anchovies...which would be all the more reason I wouldn't think I would like it.  I LOVED IT!!!  I got all my ingredients (except the red pepper flakes which I had in my pantry) from Trader Joe's.

The flavors all marinade with the marinara sauce to meld into something that tastes like you are eating at a high end restaurant.  So delicious and, I have leftovers - yeah!
