Fusilli Alla Puttanesca Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/3 cups hot water and porcini in small bowl. Let stand until porcini are soft, about 25 minutes. Strain porcini, reserving liquid; discard sandy residue in bottom of bowl. Coarsely chop porcini.
• Drain tomatoes, reserving juice. Bring juice to boil in large saucepan. Add onion and garlic. Reduce heat and simmer until onion is tender, about 15 minutes. Add porcini, reserved porcini liquid, tomatoes, olives and next 6 ingredients. Partially cover pot and simmer sauce until thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta. Return to pot. Add sauce to pasta. Toss to blend.

Steps:

• Heat 3 Tbs oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until starting to brown (do not burn), about two minutes. Add the anchovies and stir briefly. Turn up the heat to medium high and add the olives, stirring until they sizzle, about two minutes. Add the tomatoes and red pepper. Cook for about five minutes. Stir in the capers. Start preparing the fusilli at the same time you begin the sauce. When the pasta is ready, drain it and add it to the sauce over medium heat. Stir in the parsley and 3 Tbs olive oil. Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheese. Serve in bowls with good bread.

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:

• Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes with puree, olives, anchovies, capers, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Simmer sauce over medium-low heat until thickened, breaking up tomatoes with spoon, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta; return to same pot. Add sauce and parsley. Toss over low heat until sauce coats pasta, about 3 minutes. Serve with cheese.
