Classic Pasta Puttanesca Recipe
Oil cured black olives add an amazing flavor to this pasta puttanesca recipe. I used long fusilli, but any substantial pasta goes well with this anchovy, caper, garlic, and olive tomato-based sauce. This classic Italian pasta recipe has the best flavor from umami rich anchovies, so unless you really dislike them, try to use at least a few for an authentic puttanesca taste. I hope you enjoy it!

INGREDIENTS:
▪1 pound pasta
▪1 (28) ounce can plum tomatoes
- crushed or blender pulsed
▪3 ounces tomato paste
▪6 garlic cloves - sliced
▪5 anchovy fillets
▪1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
▪1/4 cup fresh parsley - minced

▪2 tablespoons capers - rinsed to remove salt
▪1/4 cup olive oil
▪1/4 extra virgin olive oil - finish
▪salt/pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a 1/4 cup of olive oil saute the garlic and minced anchovies over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or until the anchovies dissolve and the garlic turns golden. Add in the chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.
2. Next, add in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently.
3. Add in the plum tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
4. Add in the chopped olives and capers.
5. Taste test the sauce and adjust salt and pepper if required. Because of the saltiness of the ingredients, little extra salt will be needed.
6. Remove half the sauce from the pan. Add in a ladle of pasta water. Add in the al dente pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes to thoroughly coat pasta with the sauce. If more sauce or pasta water is needed add some back into the pan. Serve remaining sauce on the table or for bread dipping.

Classic Pasta Puttanesca
This incredibly flavorful classic Italian puttanesca sauce recipe has tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, and anchovies tossed in herbs and pasta.
Puttanesca is a zesty sauce comprised of tomatoes, onions, capers, olives, anchovies, and garlic, and is commonly served with pasta. On a restaurant menu, it will often say alla puttanesca, which means with the sauce. This sauce has a couple of minor variations, including herbs and chiles. Regardless, you can make this pasta work to your liking.
There are a couple of stories on where this sauce came from, starting with its origin in brothels, specifically in the Spanish quarters in Naples where the puttanas, translated to prostitutes, would feed themselves and clients.
Another story claims that puttana stems from the Latin word for putida, which means stinking. This would make sense considering the strong aromas from the ingredients in the pasta.
The last claim states that a chef in the famous Ischia restaurant in Italy had nothing much left to serve some hungry customers. He just threw together whatever ingredients he had, translating from “puttanata qualsiasi,” which means prepared as it comes. Make it simple with no frills. It’s really just a simple Spaghetti Sauce.

Penne with Tuna “Puttanesca”
Penne shares the award for being one of the most popular pasta shapes in the world with spaghetti. In Italian, “penne” is the plural of the word “penna,”which means “quill.” But let’s switch to the deliciously edible variety of penne: Penne pasta!
The recipe that Chef Rosario is featuring this month is his own interpretation of two traditional pasta specialties: the celebrated Pasta alla Puttanesca and the lesser-known pasta with tuna. Puttanesca is the quintessential Neapolitan recipe featuring spaghetti with the seductive flavors of ripe tomatoes, garlic, chili peppers, capers and olives, and anchovies. Here, spaghetti is switched out for penne and tuna in olive oil is used instead of anchovies. Did it work? Try it and let us know!
Penne Puttanesca
Penne is the perfect pasta for this sauce. The small tubes capture pungent, flavorful bits of olives, capers and anchovies, while the tender pieces of tomato cling to the ribbed exteriors.
