SUMMER PASTA PUTTANESCA
Steps:
- 1. Combine oil, garlic, anchovy paste, pepper flakes, and oregano in bowl. Process tomatoes in blender until finely chopped but not pureed, 15 to 45 seconds. Transfer to fine-mesh strainer set in large bowl and let drain for 5 minutes, occasionally pressing gently on solids with rubber spatula to extract liquid (this should yield about 3/4 cup). Reserve tomato liquid in bowl and tomato pulp in strainer. 2. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add campanelle and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain campanelle and return it to pot. 3. While campanelle is cooking, cook garlic-anchovy mixture in 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato liquid and simmer until reduced to 1/3 cup, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato pulp, olives, and capers; cook until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in parsley. 4. Pour sauce over campanelle and toss to combine, adding reserved cooking water as needed to adjust consistency. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, make sure to use a large enough pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around. Otherwise, it will stick together and become mushy.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming overcooked and mushy.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Add the capers and olives at the end: Capers and olives are salty ingredients, so it's best to add them at the end of the cooking process to prevent them from overpowering the other flavors.
Conclusion:
Campanelle with Fresh Puttanesca is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of fresh tomatoes, salty capers and olives, and spicy red pepper flakes creates a flavorful and satisfying sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover pasta, so feel free to experiment with different shapes and sizes.
