  • Yield: 4-6 servings
  • Prep Time: 15 min

Ingredients

1 Package Dry Spaghetti or Buccatini
100g Gaeta Olives (or Kalamata), chopped
12g Capers in Salt
6 Sprigs Parsley, chopped
8 Filets Imported Anchovies, chopped
1 Teaspoon Calabrian Chili Peppers, minced
3 Cloves Garlics, peeled

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the capers, then set them aside.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. In a large sauté pan, add Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil, garlic, Calabrian chili peppers, and anchovies. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the anchovies dissolve into the oil, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the capers and olives. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Hand-crush the Ciao Italian Whole Peeled Tomatoes and add them to the pan, along with the parsley. Cook for 10–12 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves at this point.
  6. Cook the pasta for 1–2 minutes before al dente. Transfer it to the sauté pan and cook together for 3–5 minutes.
  7. Plate the pasta, serve, and enjoy!
Pro Tip: For added flair, top the plated pasta with two spoonfuls of the puttanesca sauce with olives and capers. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or basil.
