Ingredients

  1. 1/2 lbspaghetti
  2. 3anchovy filets, finely diced
  3. 2 clovesgarlic, finely diced
  4. Handfulgrape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  5. 3Kalamata olives, pitted, finely chopped (May add more if that’s your thing)
  6. 1 teaspoonblack pepper
  7. 2 Tablespoonsfinely chopped parsley, fresh is best
  8. 1large can whole tomatoes, or diced will work too
  9. 2 Tablespoonstomato paste
  10. 2 Tablespoonsolive oil
  11. Fresh grated Parmesan, as much as you like
  12. Onion, finely chopped, about 2 Tablespoons (this isn’t in puttanesca traditionally, but our family loves it so I add it!)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In pan, heat olive oil. Once heated, add onion, garlic, anchovies, olives, and cherry tomatoes. Let simmer and meld.

  2. 2

    Add can of tomatoes, tomato paste, about 2/3 of the parsley, pepper and a dash of salt to the pan. Let it cook down for as long as you have. The longer it cooks down, the better. I let it cook 30 minutes when possible. Keep the pan scraped.

  3. 3

    While the sauce is thickening and melding, add water to a large pot and bring to boil. Add a generous amount of salt and cook the spaghetti.

  4. 4

    When the sauce is done, place the cooked pasta in the sauce and toss. Add remaining fresh parsley on top and as much freshly grated Parmesan as you’d like!

  5. 5

    You may garnish with more olives if so desired.
