Serves
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped (plus extra for garnish)

  • 12 ounces dry linguine pasta
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper


Procedure
Start the puttanesca—Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large chef pan over medium-high heat, add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, olives, and parsley. Pour in water, then add linguine, capers, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.

Finish the puttanesca—Continue cooking—stirring frequently—until most liquid has evaporated and pasta is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy—Scoop puttanesca into individual serving bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Pick Your Favorite Pasta: We like linguine, but any long noodles work great in our recipe—spaghetti to fettuccini.
