Mondays made easy!!
Farmstyle Market is making your Monday easy. Spice up your Monday night with a little help from the "Ladies" of Naples! Pasta Puttanesca!!
Also known as "whore's pasta," the name of this robust pasta dish originated in Naples after the local women of easy virtue. All the ingredients are just as easy to put your hands on, making this a quick and satisfying meal!
![]() |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 onion—finely chopped |
2 cloves garlic—finely chopped |
4 anchovy fillets—chopped |
1 small red chili—deseeded and finely chopped |
2 teaspoons capers—rinsed and drained |
8 pitted black olives—quartered |
14 oz (420g) canned tomatoes—chopped |
½ teaspoon sea salt |
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
7 oz (200g) spaghetti |
Method
HEAT 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. ADD the garlic and anchovies and cook for a minute, stirring to break up the anchovies. ADD the chili, capers, olives, tomatoes, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil. REDUCE the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. WHILE the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta. DRAIN the cooked pasta into a colander and put the sauce in the bottom of the pot. TOP with the hot pasta, parsley and reserved tablespoon of olive oil, and toss together gently to combine. Variation: To make this meal more protein-packed you can add a 6 oz (180g) can of tuna (drained and flaked) to the sauce at the end of cooking to heat through.
