Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 1 large Italian sweet pepper chopped (or use several jalapeno peppers, chopped - red ones if you have them)
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 6 ounces chopped soppressata if desired
- 1 ounce tin flat anchovy fillets drained
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup green or black olives chopped
- 3 tablespoons capers drained
- 4 pounds fresh tomatoes peeled and chopped (or about 60 odd ounces of crushed tomatoes from cans) – I used some frozen tomatoes from our garden
- Black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 pound spaghetti noodles or any pasta to your preference
- grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and add olive oil. Heat through.
- Add onion and peppers. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
- Add soppressata and garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring often.
- Add anchovies, red pepper flakes and olives. Mash the anchovies and stir until they incorporate into the mixture.
- Add capers, tomatoes, black pepper, parsley and basil. Mix well.
- Cover and cook about 15-20 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and flavors to incorporate. You can let it simmer longer for more flavor to develop. I left mine simmer over an hour.
- Break up the tomatoes and stir to a rustic mix. At this point you can reduce heat to simmer while you prepare your noodles.
- Prepare the noodles as directed on the box, about 10 minutes or so boiling.
- While noodles are cooking, toss the shrimp into the sauce to cook. They only need a few minutes.
- Drain noodles and toss with the sauce.
- Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped herbs.
Notes
- Makes about 8 servings.
