Easy Puttanesca
- Replies 2
What better dish for a delightful dinner than a classic-inspired Puttanesca? This dish is a beloved classic, promising a burst of flavours to nourish your body and soul!
So, let's dive into the 'how-to'.
Ingredients
300g of your favourite spaghetti
1 tbsp of heart-healthy olive oil
One scrumptious onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves (to keep the vampires away!)
1 chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp of vibrant tomato purée
425g can of sardines in oil
70g pack of dried black olives with herbs, roughly chopped
A generous sprinkle of shaved Parmesan to serve!
Directions
Set your pasta to boil according to the pack instructions, stirring occasionally to avoid a sticky situation. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and gently cook the onion, garlic, and chilli for 3-4 minutes until they soften.
Once they have softened, stir in the tomato purée and sauté it for about a minute, then introduce your sardines along with their sauce. Here comes the fun part—use a wooden spoon to break up the fish while it simmers with the other ingredients. Once you've achieved a chunky paste-like consistency, it's time to toss in those olives and continue to cook for a few more minutes.
Drain your al dente pasta. Don't forget to save 2-3 tbsp of the pasta water! Next, combine it with the pan of your sardine mixture. Toss everything together gently to ensure the pasta is well-coated with all these gorgeous flavours.
Once done, you're ready to serve up this masterpiece. Distribute the pasta equally onto plates, and finish it off with a generous sprinkle of shaved Parmesan.
There you have it, folks! Rich, hearty Puttanesca cooked right in your kitchen. The beauty of such simple recipes lies in their adaptability, so feel free to experiment with different kinds of pasta or additional veggies, herbs, and spices! Bon appétit!
