Nonna Marias Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca Recipes

Steps:

• While the spaghetti cooks in salted boiling water, prepare the sauce. Heat up some olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and chili pepper, to taste. When the garlic is golden, add the anchovies, olives, capers, and walnuts.
• Let the mixture cook for about 1 minute before pouring the crushed plum tomatoes into the pan. Cook for approximately 10 minutes on medium heat.
• About a minute before the al dente stage, drain the spaghetti and add it to the saucepan, allowing it to finish cooking in the sauce. Sprinkle the spaghetti with freshly chopped parsley and transfer to a warm plate. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Submerge the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes.
• Peel the tomatoes and cut them open. Discard the seeds and cut the flesh into small cubes.
• In a large nonstick pan heat about 3 tablespoons olive oil and saute together the garlic, anchovies, olives, capers, and red pepper flakes for about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and let cook on a medium-low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti about 2 minutes less than indicated on the box, drain and add to the sauce pan on a medium high flame, toss around for a couple of minutes or less, making sure the sauce is evenly distributed on the pasta.
• Add a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley and a drizzle extra-virgin olive oil.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Make the dressing: Whisk the anchovies, grated garlic, vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and the sliced garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the olives and capers.
• Meanwhile, add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and transfer to the skillet with the sauce. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and cook, tossing, until well coated, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Stir in the chopped parsley; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the spaghetti among bowls. Add the escarole and parsley leaves to the anchovy dressing; toss to coat. Pile the salad on top of the spaghetti.

Steps:

• Boil water for pasta. Cook spaghetti for 4 minutes until al dente while making the sauce.
