PASTA PUTTANESCA



Pasta Puttanesca image

There are almost as many explanations for the origins of pasta puttanesca as there are ways to make it. Ostensibly a sauce invented and made by prostitutes, it was designed to lure customers with its powerful aroma. Whatever the origin, no better cold-weather pasta sauce has come down to us. Puttanesca can be made completely with ingredients from the larder; in fact, it can be prepared entirely without ingredients that require refrigeration, though a bit of a fresh herb at the end does help. The basis is a garlicky tomato sauce; canned tomatoes are preferable here. This is brought to a high level of flavor by the addition of anchovies, capers and olives. Red pepper flakes make things even better. The whole process is ridiculously easy.

Provided by Julie Filips

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes     Pasta Sauce Recipes     Tomato

Time 21m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 anchovy fillets, chopped, or more to taste
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained.
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
¼ cup capers, chopped

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • As the water heats, pour the olive oil into a cold skillet and stir in the garlic. Turn heat to medium-low and cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant and begins to turn a golden color, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, oregano, and anchovies. Cook until anchovies begin to break down, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour tomatoes into skillet, turn heat to medium-high, and bring sauce to a simmer. Use the back of a spoon to break down tomatoes as they cook. Simmer until sauce is reduced and combined, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the boiling water. Drain when still very firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
  • Stir the olives and capers into the sauce; add pasta and toss to combine.
  • Toss pasta in sauce until pasta is cooked through and well coated with sauce, about 1 minute. If sauce becomes too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta water to thin.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this sauce. It has a rich flavor that will enhance the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer the sauce: Once the vegetables are cooked, simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Season to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Puttanesca sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, but can also be used as a topping for pizza or chicken. The addition of broccoli adds a healthy and flavorful twist to the classic recipe. This sauce is sure to please everyone at your table!
