Spaghetti Puttanesca

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion, small diced
  • 3-4 canned anchovies, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • ¾ cup pitted green olives, sliced
  • 1 package Pereg Quinoa Spaghetti (8oz)
  • Pereg Kosher Salt
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, rough chopped

Preparation

STEP 1

Heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep sauté pan. When the oil is hot, add the onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped anchovies in oil and cook another 2 minutes until anchovies are very soft. Then add the garlic and red chili pepper flakes and sauté for an additional minute.

STEP 2

Then add in diced tomatoes, oregano, capers and olives and simmer for 10 minutes. Add salt if needed.

STEP 3

While the sauce is simmering, make your pasta. Bring 4-6 quarts of water with ½ tablespoon salt to a boil in a large stockpot. Add pasta and return to a rapid boil. Cook uncovered stirring occasionally until pasta is al dente, about 6 minutes.

STEP 4

Drain the pasta well and toss with ¾ of the sauce. Serve with more sauce on top and Parmesan cheese and basil for garnish.
