Puttanesca

🌍 Italian, Naples/Campania Difficulty: ●●●○○


A pantry sauce from Naples assembled in the time it takes to boil spaghetti. The anchovies dissolve into the oil; the capers and olives provide salt and brine. Do not add extra salt until you have tasted — the stored ingredients carry enough.

Ingredients

  • 400g spaghetti
  • 400g canned tomatoes
  • 4 anchovy fillets
  • 3 tbsp capers
  • 100g black olives, pitted
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. Sautéing — Sauté garlic and anchovies in oil until anchovies dissolve.
  2. Adding — Add tomatoes, capers, olives, chilli. Simmer 15 min.
  3. Tossing — Toss with cooked pasta.
