Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound penne (recommended: Barilla or de Cecco fine)
Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for tuna
5 to 6 anchovies, in jars with red pepper, if plain anchovies add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 large cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes (recommended: San Marzano)
1 cup chicken or seafood stock
Freshly ground black pepper
A few tablespoons capers, drained
A handful pitted black olives, oil cured or kalamata, chopped
1 pound tuna steak
1 large egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup basil leaves, shredded

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook to al dente. Drain and keep warm.
  • Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add anchovies and stir into oil until melted. Add the garlic, turn heat to low and saute for a couple of minutes. Stir in the tomatoes crushing them up, then stir in stock. Season with a little black pepper, add capers and olives and simmer a few minutes.
  • While sauce simmers, cut tuna into chunks and grind in food processor into coarse mixture. Pulse in the egg, bread crumbs and parsley and season with a little salt and black pepper. Remove tuna mixture from the processor to a bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine. (Adding the oil will prevent mixture from sticking to your hands as you roll the balls.) Roll the tuna into small balls and drop into the sauce. Cover the pot and simmer the tuna balls in the sauce, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Place the pasta into a serving bowl. Add the tuna and sauce, toss to coat and garnish with shredded basil.

TUNA PUTTANESCA AND PENNE



Tuna Puttanesca and Penne image

Loosely based on"Every Day with Rachel Ray" Nov/06 edition. UPDATE: 08/26/2008 since everyone has increased the amount of garlic to 6 cloves, then I'll suggest that! Also, add some lemon zest. As for the heat - we enjoyed it the way it is. If desired, add some anchovies - it tastes great! Just ANOTHER UPDATE: 06/24/09 - increase the servings to 4 generous servings or 6 regular servings.

EASY ONE-SKILLET PENNE ALLA PUTTANESCA



Easy One-Skillet Penne alla Puttanesca image

A hearty pasta dish that can be prepared in one skillet in just half an hour.

Categories     Pasta

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 small cans of whole peeled tomatoes with their juices (15oz. each)
4 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
6 med. cloves of garlic, minced
6 anchovy fillets, packed in olive oil, minced
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
½ tsp. sea salt
2 cups of water, room temperature
12 oz. small size penne or thin spaghetti
½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted & chopped coarse
2-3 TBSP. small capers, rinsed well
4 TBSP. fresh parsley, minced
--- more sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
--- freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes with their juices in a food processor and pulse several times until they are coarsely ground (or more if you prefer a smoother sauce).
  • Place a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the garlic, anchovies and red pepper flakes, and cook for two minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • To the sauce, add the water and then the pasta. Increase the heat to medium-high and cover the skillet. Stir the pasta every now and then, and adjust the heat if necessary so as to maintain a vigorous simmer (but not boil). Cook until the pasta is al-dente (cooked through, but still firm), about 10-12 minutes, depending on the kind of pasta.
  • When the pasta is done, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the olives, capers and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve on warm plates with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: Use high-quality, fresh tuna and tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality pasta: Penne is a classic choice for this dish, but you can use any short pasta that you like.
  • Add the olives and capers at the end: This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming too salty.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made.

Conclusion:

This penne with tuna puttanesca is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and tasty meal. The combination of tuna, tomatoes, olives, and capers creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this penne with tuna puttanesca a try.
