Categories     Pasta     Tomato     Capers     Anchovy     Olive     Oregano     Tuna

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb. linguine or other long pasta
Kosher salt
1 (14-oz.) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 cup capers, drained
6 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
6 oz. oil-packed tuna

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid; return pasta to pot.
  • While pasta cooks, pour tomatoes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. Shake to release as much juice as possible, then let tomatoes drain in sieve, collecting juices in bowl, until ready to use.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Add capers and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until they burst and are crisp, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer capers to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving oil in skillet.
  • Combine anchovies, tomato paste, and drained tomatoes in skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to caramelize and anchovies start to break down, about 5 minutes. Add collected tomato juices, olives, oregano, and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add pasta, remaining 1/4 cup oil, and 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid to pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring and adding remaining 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid to loosen if needed, until sauce is thickened and emulsified, about 2 minutes. Flake tuna into pasta and toss to combine.
  • Divide pasta among plates. Top with fried capers.

This pantry pasta puttanesca was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll drain the oil from the anchovies and olives next time.

This pantry pasta puttanesca was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by this pantry pasta puttanesca. I didn't think I would like the combination of anchovies and capers, but it was actually really good. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pantry pasta puttanesca was a good starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more garlic and red pepper flakes, and I used a different type of pasta (spaghetti instead of penne).
