Instructions
- Puttanesca sauce is very flavoursome and salty so start by washing the capers under water to remove the salt.
- Put the water on to boil (before you start making the puttanesca pasta) so that you cook your pasta at the same time as you make your sauce.
- Next put a fry pan on your stove at a medium heat and add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Once the oil has started to warm up add your anchovies (approx. 2-3 per person) and melt them into the oil by moving them around with a spatula.
- Leave these for around a minute as they will start to shrink and infuse the oil with the flavours.
- Next add the garlic (either finely chopped or pressed) and olives, and mix this through.
- When you add the olives, gently squeeze them with your hands, before adding them to the pan. Continue to mix all of the Puttanesca pasta ingredients together.
- Now add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bowl of peeled tomatoes, along with freshly chopped parsley and mix it well before squashing it all down using a potato masher!
- Mix this until you get a much smoother consistency, leaving the puttanesca sauce ingredients to lightly simmer.
- Pour in the tomato mixture and let this simmer for a few minutes, stirring it every so often.
- Once the pasta is ready, strain it, and add it to the pan.
- Toss the pan with the puttanesca pasta so all of the ingredients dance together.
- Remove the pan from the stove.
- E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
