This one pot pasta combines all of your favorite Mediterranean flavors into one simple dish. It's a spaghetti alla puttanesca. If you happen to be an olive lover, this ones for you! I wasn’t’ always an olive fan, and sometimes dislike it in certain dishes, but this one is full of flavor with its briny, salty flavor.
2 cloves garlic, rough chopped
4 anchovy filets
1 tablespoon capers
28 oz crushed tomatoes
½ cup black olives, halved
¼ cup kalamata olives, halved
1 cup water
½ lb spaghetti, uncooked
¼ cup parsley, chopped
Parmesan cheese
Olive OIl
In a large pot, add olive oil and let it get hot on medium heat. Add garlic and let it cook for a minute until fragrant. Add anchovy filets and break it up for a minute until absorbed with oil. Add capers and crush it down. Add tomato sauce, olives, water, and spaghetti. I like breaking the spaghetti in half so it fits into the pot. Simmer and cook the noodles with the sauce for 10-12 minutes until the pasta is al dente. Be sure to stir the pot every once in a while so the noodles at the bottom don’t burn.
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and serve. Add shaved parmesan and enjoy!
