PASTA PUTTANESCA



Pasta Puttanesca image

This sauce is named for ladies of the night. They would place pots of it in their windows to tempt men into the bordellos. I like it because it's spicy, fast and easy (no disrespect to the ladies).

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tin flat anchovy fillets, drained
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
20 oil-cured black olives, cracked away from pit and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons capers
One 32-ounce can chunky style crushed tomatoes
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
A few grinds black pepper
1/4 cup (a couple of handfuls) flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente (with a bite)
Crusty bread, for mopping
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano, for passing, optional
Serving suggestions: Bitter Greens Salad, recipe follows
4 cups (about 2 bundles) arugula leaves, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups (about 1 bundle) watercress leaves, coarsely chopped
1 head Radicchio lettuce, coarsely chopped
1 large lemon
Extra-virgin olive oil, to coat, 2 to 3 tablespoons
Coarse salt and black pepper
Oil cured black olives, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil, garlic, anchovies, and crushed pepper. Saute mixture until anchovies melt into oil and completely dissolve and garlic is tender, about 3 minutes: your kitchen never smelled so good! Add olives, capers, tomatoes, black pepper, and parsley. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Toss sauce with cooked pasta. Pass bread and cheese at the table and serve with Bitter Greens Salad.
  • Combine greens in a salad bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the bowl. Drizzle salad liberally with extra virgin olive oil. Toss salad and season salad with salt and pepper. Arrange salad on plates. Garnish plates with black olives, if using.

SPAGHETTI WITH NO-COOK PUTTANESCA

Tomato seeds and membranes can be a bit bitter, which is why we remove them from this uncooked preparation-it also prevents the sauce from being watery.

LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED ARTICHOKES



Lemon Spaghetti With Roasted Artichokes image

Lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan and basil come together for a silky and vibrant sauce that makes this weeknight-friendly pasta sing. The addition of roasted artichoke hearts adds texture and complements the zestiness of the dish. There's no better time than a weeknight to embrace canned or frozen artichoke hearts, as they are immensely less work than whole fresh ones, and they roast beautifully - and effortlessly - in a hot oven. Holding onto that salty, starchy pasta water is key to ensuring that each spaghetti noodle is enveloped in the lemony sauce; use it judiciously to emulsify the sauce as you quickly toss it.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound frozen halved artichoke hearts (thawed in a strainer), or 2 (14-ounce) cans halved artichoke hearts in water, drained
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
6 ounces Parmesan, very finely grated
1 large lemon, zested (about 1/2 heaping teaspoon) and juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup torn basil leaves, plus more for garnishing

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Gently pat the artichoke hearts with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the artichoke hearts in a mound in the center of the baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon salt, season with pepper and gently toss to combine. Scatter the artichoke hearts in an even layer and roast for 20 minutes. Flip the hearts and roast for an additional 10 minutes, until browned and a little crisp around the edges.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or according to package directions.
  • While the pasta cooks, in a serving dish large enough to accommodate the spaghetti, add the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the lemon zest; toss to combine. Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil; stir to combine. The mixture should resemble a thick paste.
  • Place the serving dish next to the pasta pot. Scoop out and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of it over the Parmesan-lemon mixture; stir to thin out the mixture a little.
  • Using tongs, lift out some of the spaghetti (with its cooking water still clinging to it) and transfer to the Parmesan-lemon mixture; quickly toss and drag the spaghetti in a circular motion around the dish to incorporate the sauce. Repeat until you have transferred and tossed all of the spaghetti.
  • Add the butter, basil and 1 tablespoon of the pasta water to the spaghetti, and keep tossing until you have a silky sauce clinging to it. Add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  • Top with the roasted artichokes, a little more black pepper and torn basil, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful olives, and salty capers will make a big difference in the taste of your sauce.
  • Don't overcook the garlic: Garlic can quickly burn, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Just a minute or two in the oil will be enough to infuse the oil with flavor.
  • Add the anchovies early: Anchovies may seem like an unusual ingredient, but they add a delicious umami flavor to the sauce. Be sure to chop them finely so that they dissolve into the sauce.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will also make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a pasta that is sturdy enough to hold up to the sauce, such as spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for pasta with sauce.
  • Toss the pasta with the sauce immediately: As soon as the pasta is cooked, toss it with the sauce so that the pasta can absorb all of the delicious flavors.

Conclusion:

Pasta with no-cook puttanesca sauce is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sauce is made with a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, and it can be ready in just 15 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
