One of my all time favourite dishes. Super fast to make. You should have related the much trotted out anecdote as to where the name of the dish comes from!
 
This looks easy enough although I have no olives or capers. Of course not having certain ingredients doesn't put me off. I am famous for improvising.
 
Having looked at the recipe again I'm surprised to see onions in it. The original (although there are many variations) is super fast to make because there is no need to sautee onions because there are no onions in it - and I certainly don't think they are necessary. Its all about that fantastic trilogy of anchovy, capers and olives. To see the background to the dish and its infamous title, see here:

Non are are saying "free of all top allergens" though, which is why this one was posted.

Well in fact, people can be allergic to olives and basil! But most puttanesca sauce recipes would be allergen free according to the criteria being used by the website - whether or not they included onions.
