Ingredients
1 oz Kalamata olives
¼ oz fresh parsley
1 pkt crushed red pepper
8 oz marinara sauce
½ oz fish sauce Fish
1 oz capers
6 oz spaghetti Wheat
How to make it
1
Prep ingredients. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Finely chop 2 teaspoons garlic. Coarsely chop olives. Finely chop parsley leaves; discard stems. In a medium skillet, combine chopped garlic, crushed red pepper (depending on heat preference), and 3 tablespoons oil. Cook over medium heat until garlic is lightly golden, 3–4 minutes.
2
Cook sauce & pasta. Add marinara sauce, fish sauce, olives, and capers to skillet with garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce is slightly reduced and flavors have melded, 2–3 minutes. Meanwhile, add pasta to boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente, 8–10 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup cooking water; drain pasta.
3
Finish & serve. Add pasta and reserved cooking water to skillet with sauce. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and tossing frequently, until pasta is al dente and sauce clings to pasta, 1–2 minutes. Off heat, stir in parsley and 1 tablespoon oil. Season pasta puttanesca to taste with salt and pepper and serve. Enjoy!
