The spaghetti puttanesca sauce recipe

How to make spaghetti puttanesca sauce

Ingredients:
1 large (28 oz) can diced or crushed tomatoes
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, halved
5 anchovy filets, chopped
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 can chopped black olives; or better chopped jarred black olives
3 Tablespoons capers, drained
2 Tablespoons dried parsley, chopped
1/2 to 1 small red chili pepper, chopped
salt, to taste
1 lb spaghetti or any pasta you prefer
As is, this recipe provides 4 portions.


Cooking Method:
Set the pasta water to boil. Then follow package instructions to boil your pasta;
of course, allow less boiling time for 'al dente'
Make sure you have olives, parsley and capers left for the end to be used for presentation.
In a deep saucepan lightly cook the garlic until brown, in hot oil. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes
Add all the anchovies, crush well with a fork.
Mix in the tomatoes, olives, capers and the chili, cook over medium high heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the parsley and cook the sauce a little more.
Put the ready and drained pasta in the pan, top with the sauce and toss pasta to coat.
Now, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley.

It is against tradition to add cheese to this dish (but hey, its your life!)

Serve then, using leftover olives and capers to decorate; please take the time to garnish each spaghetti puttanesca plate,
for an unforgettable experience! Not everybody has tried this dish, so make it special and unique...
