Spaghetti alla Puttanesca (Italian - Main Course) Recipe

Spaghetti served with a tangy, somewhat salty sauce made from tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, garlic, and chili.
Ingredients:
  • Spaghetti - 14oz (400g)
  • Tomatoes - 14oz (400g)
  • Olives - 3.5oz (100g)
  • Capers - 2 tbsp
  • Anchovies - 4 fillets
  • Garlic - 4 cloves
  • Chili - 1
  • Olive oil - 3 tbsp
Instructions
  • Begin by cooking the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet until al dente. Reserve some of the cooking water.
  • While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the sauce. Start by dicing the tomatoes and finely chopping the garlic and chili.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chili and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, olives, capers, and anchovies to the frying pan. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it but reserve a cup of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the frying pan with the sauce and toss to coat the spaghetti in the sauce. Add a little of the reserved cooking water if necessary to loosen the sauce.
  • Serve the spaghetti alla puttanesca hot, garnished with some chopped parsley, if desired.
