  1. In a deep skillet, heat extra virgin olive oil then sauté garlic and onions. Add anchovies.
  2. Add diced tomatoes, capers, pitted green olives, and pitted black olives. Mix well.
  3. When the mixture starts to simmer, add sage, parsley, pepper, salt and sugar.
  4. In a pasta pot, boil pasta in salted water with pomace olive oil. Cook until “al dente”. Drain.
  5. Put the drained pasta in a large pasta bowl. Add in the cooked sauce and toss well to coat the pasta with the sauce. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Serve hot with garlic bread slices.

TIP:

This is a very easy recipe to make but it is important to use the right ingredients so it tastes like the real Puttanesca, so try not to substitute.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTA

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1⁄4 kilo angel hair pasta
  • 6 tbsp. Molinera Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Molinera Pomace Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1⁄4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2 tsp. Molinera Capers
  • 5 pcs. Molinera Sundried Tomatoes, cut in strips
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

PROCEDURE:

  1. Boil pasta in salted water with a tablespoon of pomace olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Cook “al dente” then drain.
  2. In a skillet, cook garlic in extra virgin olive oil until lightly browned. Add the chopped onions. 
  3. Add capers and sundried tomatoes.
  4. Remove pan from heat and add the cooked pasta. Toss to coat with the sauce.
  5. Transfer to a platter and top with basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese.

 

TIP:

Sundried tomatoes require very little cooking so there is no need to heat them for a long time in the pan. This recipe will also work with other types of pasta like spaghetti, capellini, penne or fettucine.
