Putanesca sauce has always been a favorite in my neighborhood growing up. Maybe its because of it’s name Putanesca (Poo-ta-nes-Ka) which loosely translated means prostitute (Putana).
No matter what its called or why, Puttanesca is a great pasta sauce which is like most Italian dishes quite simple to prepare.
Here is what you will need:
Olive Oil (about 4 tablespoons
1 small onion
2 garlic cloves
5 anchovy fillets
1 can of chopped or diced tomatoes
1 handful of black olives
A pinch of dried oregano
Capers -- about a tablespoon full.
1 pinch of red pepper flakes
This is very simple.
Add your olive oil to a saucepan and heat it. Add your onions and garlic and red pepper. Cook for about 5 minute or so until your onion cooks through. Now, add your anchovies and stir in with the onions and garlic.
Next, add your tomatoes, olives, capers and oregano. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer. While your sauce is cooking, you can boil your salted pasta water .
Cook your pasta until just al dente. Drain your pasta, leaving some pasta water behind and toss your pasta into the simmering saucepan. Toss your pasta well with the sauce. If your pasta seems a bit dry, add some left over pasta water to loosen it up.
