Penne Alla Puttanesca Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the pasta and the sauce: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir, and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes less than what the box advises. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by heating oil in a skillet over low heat. Rinse the anchovies and the capers under cold water to remove the salt, then soak in a small bowl of water for several minutes. Remove the pits from the olives by quickly smashing them with the side of a knife, then fillet the anchovies by removing the backbone (the longer they're soaked, the easier this will be). Add the anchovies, capers, garlic, olives, and parsley to the skillet, and cook until the anchovies are broken up and the garlic is lightly browned. Using a fork or your hands, break up the tomatoes in a mixing bowl and add to the skillet. Simmer sauce for 1-2 minutes, then check for seasoning (sauce will be naturally salty) and adjust with pepper.
• Assemble the dish: Perform the pasta "marriage ceremony" by reserving 1 cup of the pasta water and draining the rest. Return the pasta to the pot. Add the pasta water and puttanesca sauce into the pot. Cook over low heat, gently tossing the pasta with the sauce for 2 minutes to allow it to marry with the sauce. The pasta should still be firm to the bite. Transfer to a platter or bowl, garnish with more chopped parsley, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion along with a generous pinch of salt and fry for 10 mins, or until soft. Add the garlic and chilli, if using, and cook for a further minute.
• Stir the tomatoes, anchovies, olives and capers into the onion, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 mins. Season to taste.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions, then drain and toss with the sauce and parsley.

Steps:

• Over medium-low heat, saute the onions, garlic, and chilli in a couple of Tbsp of olive oil until soft, about 10-15 min, stirring occasionally.
• Add the parsley and season well.
• Pour in the canned tomatoes, stirring the mixture well, then stir in the olives, capers, anchovies, a small amount of sugar (to reduce acidity), some more seasoning to taste, and a drizzle of olive oil(optional, I didn't add any extra oil).
• Let simmer over low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 45 min to a an hour, until thick and reduced and the color has darkened to a reddish-brown.
• Test for flavors and adjust seasoning, adding more salt & pepper and/or another pinch of sugar as needed.
• Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package, drain(reserving some of the liquid) and then return to the pan.
• Ladle in a few helpings of the sauce at a time, stopping to stir the mixture, until all of the pasta has been generously coated, serving the rest on the side.
• This sauce is very thick, which we loved, but adding a bit of the pasta cooking liquid will thin it if you prefer a bit looser sauce.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.
• Scatter the pasta in the pot. Add 1/3 cup water with the olive oil and stir gently to evenly coat and distribute the pasta.
• Arrange the shrimp on top of the pasta. Sprinkle on the garlic, capers, and red pepper flakes.
• Scatter the olives over the shrimp. Make a layer of the artichokes and then the broccoli. Sprinkle with the parsley.
• Mix the anchovy paste with the tomatoes and pour over all.
• Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add grape tomatoes, capers, anchovies, olives, and garlic; cook until fragrant and tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes. Add tomato puree and season with salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes (sauce will be separated).
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta and add to sauce, tossing to combine and adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Rub the steaks with the garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill the steaks, turning once, for 8 minutes for medium-rare. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix the butter and anchovy paste. Dollop on top of the steaks.
• In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, caper berries, onion, parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Top the steaks with the tomato salad.

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes with their juices in a food processor and pulse several times until they are coarsely ground (or more if you prefer a smoother sauce).
• Place a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the garlic, anchovies and red pepper flakes, and cook for two minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• To the sauce, add the water and then the pasta. Increase the heat to medium-high and cover the skillet. Stir the pasta every now and then, and adjust the heat if necessary so as to maintain a vigorous simmer (but not boil). Cook until the pasta is al-dente (cooked through, but still firm), about 10-12 minutes, depending on the kind of pasta.
• When the pasta is done, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the olives, capers and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve on warm plates with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
