Spaghettini Puttanesca Recipes

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes by plunging them into boiling water for about 20 seconds, rinsing them in cold water, then stripping off the skins. Slice the tomatoes in half horizontally and gently squeeze the halves to remove seeds and excess fluid. Core and finely chop the tomatoes, either by hand or in a food processor. If you use the machine, be sure the tomatoes are chopped, not pureed.
• Transfer the chopped tomatoes to a colander placed over a bowl and allow them to drain for 30 minutes, to further remove excess fluid.
• Bring a kettle of water to boil for the pasta.
• Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet, add the garlic and saute briefly until soft but not brown. Add the anchovies, olives, capers and drained tomatoes and cook for two to three minutes. Away from heat, stir in oregano, parsley, vinegar and the remaining olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside until the pasta is cooked.
• Boil the spaghettini about six minutes, until al dente. Drain thoroughly.
• Add spaghettini to the sauce in the skillet and mix over low heat just until the ingredients are well distributed. Serve at once. Alternatively, the spaghettini can be divided among four warm bowls and the sauce spooned over each serving.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, olive oil, onion, basil, anchovy paste, garlic, oregano, baking soda, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend, 1 to 2 hours. Add olives, capers, and parsley during the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Divide spaghetti among serving bowls; ladle sauce over noodles and sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti in salted, boiling water until al dente. Meanwhile fry the garlic, capers, olives, anchovies, chiles, and oregano in a little olive oil for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and continue to cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until you have a lovely tomato sauce consistency. Remove from the heat, plunge the drained spaghetti into it, toss it over, and cover with the sauce. Rip all the basil over it, correct the seasoning, and drizzle with good extra-virgin olive oil.

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:

• Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions; drain; return to pot.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, crushed red pepper, and anchovies, if desired, mashing them with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, 2 minutes.
• Add whole tomatoes and their juice, breaking up tomatoes with hands. Stir in capers and olives. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Toss with pasta; season with salt and pepper.

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.
