How to make PASTA PUTTANESCA

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.

[zergon]

I love this chief, so gentle, so natural, i really want to try his products, he haves the passion of flavour

[iamgort]

Love the often called 'peasant' cooking from Italy. Ingredients that were around at the time, simply full of fresh goodness from local product. The puttanesca, amatrciana, cabonara etc of Italy should make ANY person feel Roman! Nice glass of wine. HEAVEN.

[dimitrisxnation]

Hi Vincenzo!!! I am from Kalamata - Greece and i'm very proud and happy that you are using Kalamatas olives. We are also making puttanesca all the time. Is delicious.Take care

[JBugz]

There definetly is more flavor when you eat it straight from the pan! - Spoken like a true cook! 🤩

[rockinj]

Vincenzo is like that perfect teacher, he teaches us how to cook and making history interesting at the same time

[andreasconrad]

Vincenzo, I wanted to thank you... I did now more than 6 of your lovely pasta recipes... so simple, so deliceous... just thank you very much for your videos. I live in Germany, my sister in Milano, but both my wife and I loooove italian cuisine. So again, just thank you a lot.

[berelinde]

My favorite pasta ever! The idea of crushing the olives never occurred to me but I'll always do it that way going forward. It's quick, simple and contains nothing that I don't always have on hand. I like to go heavy on the parsley.

[C.C-oscz]

This is my favorite Italian dish. I have eaten a whole pot on my own. It’s funny that you said it comes from Naples. When I did research on my family’s genetics and heredity traits. One of my ancestors came from Italy from the Naples region. I like to think that is why I like this dish so much.

[isabelle.]

I know that it's not Puttanesca anymore, but I love adding 1 can of tuna in olive oil to mine, every now and then. So delicious.

[tyfon]

We have Italian food 4 times a week now because of your great recipies. Love from Amsterdam 🇳🇱
You are, the best 🌺

[Morgenmuffel]

Hi, Vincenzo. I love your recipes. I am not a chef but I cook every second day. Your help to make italian dishes is very useful. I am from Hungary and here lot of people make for example Ragù bolognese another way, bad way (with herbs, stock with all kinds of cheese except parmigiano reggiano). If somebody doesnt belive me, that they make italian dishes wrong, I just show your videos they want to do it the way you do. So thank you I can eat great ragú bolognese even when I‘m a guest in my friends ´ flats. :) have a nice day

[noonetime]

This is what i like about your channel... You teach your viewers simple ways to cook with minimal ingredients (as originally required) but really delicious! Cos ive already tried some of them. And also educating them about each of these food's history. Outstanding!

[Tomatohater]

This tastes fantastic - one of my all time favorite Italian pasta dishes.

[LovisaDreyer]

[bamrousse]

Thank you chef, I love all your pasta preparation way. It is simple delicious and easy. Really, I love your inspiration

[hannahmonsoon]

Just made this and it's delicious if you like strong flavors you'll like this. The capers and anchovy really give this pasta an amazing depth of flavor.
