A fantastic variation of a simple but delicious Italian dish, my Puttanesca is a mildly spicy white wine tomato sauce with fresh garlic, mushrooms, capers, and anchovy-stuffed green olives. The anchovy-stuffed green olives are easy to find next to the rest of the canned olives at any major grocery store. Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed |
2 cups sliced mushrooms |
2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste |
1 cup dry white wine |
1 (5 ounce) jar anchovy-stuffed green olives, drained and halved |
1/4 cup capers, drained |
2 tablespoons caper juice |
2 (14 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes |
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste |
1 pound dried pappardelle pasta |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms have begun to brown, about 4 minutes. Increase heat to high, and pour in wine. Bring to a boil, then stir in olives, capers, caper juice, crushed tomatoes, and pepper flakes. Return to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 20 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and toss with sauce to serve. |
