PUTTANESCA SAUCE AND PASTA PUTTANESCA
Puttanesca pasta is a game changer from Naples, Italy. If you think don’t like anchovies, think AGAIN! Smother your pasta in thick tomato sauce with a kick of salty anchovies and capers, throw some olives in the mix and add fresh parsley for the ultimate puttanesca sauce.

HOW TO MAKE PASTA PUTTANESCA

INGREDIENTS:
300g (10.6oz) Spaghetti (use a dry, long pasta) OR Penne
6x Anchovies in olive oil
2x Tablespoons of Capers under salt
2 garlic cloves
Kalamata olives (Or Gaeta olives if you can get them!)
1 tin peeled tomatoes (or a generous amount of juicy cherry tomatoes)
Bunch fresh parsley
Rock Salt
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and Pepper

UTENSILS:
Medium size bowl
Large pot for cooking pasta
Chopping Board
Knife
Large fry pan
Spatula
Potato masher

METHOD:
1. Puttanesca sauce is very flavoursome and salty so start by washing the capers under water to remove the salt.
2. 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.
3. Next put a fry pan on your stove at a medium heat and add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
4. 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.
5. Leave these for around a minute as they will start to shrink and infuse the oil with the flavours.
6. Next add the garlic (either finely chopped or pressed) and olives, and mix this through.
7. 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.
8. 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!
9. Mix this until you get a much smoother consistency, leaving the puttanesca sauce ingredients to lightly simmer.
10. Pour in the tomato mixture and let this simmer for a few minutes, stirring it every so often.
11. Once the pasta is ready, strain it, and add it to the pan.
12. Toss the pan with the puttanesca pasta so all of the ingredients dance together.
13. Remove the pan from the stove.

HOW TO SERVE
Serve up a single portion of puttanesca pasta on a flat plate and enjoy nice and hot! Make sure once you have served it up on a plate, you use a spoon to scoop up some extra capers and olives from the puttanesca sauce and add it to each portion. Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top. It will be full of flavour with an added kick, so enjoy every mouthful.

E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!

  4. I beg you to give this technique a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPjUN8EbXYA

    Video production quality is poor, kalamata olives were not available to him due to location and perhaps it is not a strictly traditional approach. With that said, it is by FAR the most delicious puttanesca recipe I've ever made. As someone who adores this pasta, it was truly life changing. This man deserves more eyes than he gets. I do hope you give it a try.

  8. Brilliant. I've been buying Putanesca sauce for 25 years, made very well..but I'll be adding it to my Vinchenso classics from now. I heard the prostitutes ate it themselves. I really wish I was one of those 'Gentlemen' back then. Great dish and a Bunga fine dessert after!

  11. Fun fact, Puttanesca I believe means "from the whores". You see, Sailor's would come into port and be looking for food and love. They always found food, usually Puttanesca, WHY YOU ASK? I got you fam, so, the Sailor's when looking for love would sometimes be really mean to the whores. So, the whores made a dish called Puttanesca, they would add their period blood in the sauce to get back at the Sailor's. You're welcome all you stay at home mom's that are now gonna do this when they are mad at their husband.

  25. Sa cos'è? A differenza dei multi-pluri-extra stellati, i suoi piatti, oltre ad essere semplici, come deve essere ed è la cucina italiana, sono pieni, non quelli degli "chef" con due o tre striscioline di salsine sprecate, che vanno perse e due o tre forchettate di cibo, a carissimo prezzo, però.
