MAKES 4-6 servings - 1/4 cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced |
In this classic pasta dish, popular in both Calabria and Lazio, the bold flavors of olives, anchovies, and capers are incorporated into a simple tornato sauce. Puttanesca means "harlot style," a reference to the spiciness and saltiness of the dish. |

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté until the garlic is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Add the anchovies, olives, capers, and parsley and simmer for about 1 minute longer. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Buon appetito! |
