What is pasta puttanesca?

This dish was invented in the mid-20th century in Naples. Typically, it is made with tomatoes, olives, capers and garlic. And in today’s recipe, we will be adding just that and so much more. For a bit of a salty (and fishy) surprise, we’ll be adding 8 anchovy fillets. And it is said that anchovies are a chef’s best-kept secret, as they balance the flavours and add saltiness to the dish.

The taste of capers can be described as the brininess of green olives and it has a lemony tang to it. The lemony tang, especially, compliments the dish and goes well with the fresh tomato taste. And once mixed in with the garlic and fresh basil, you’ll be in pasta heaven.

Chef’s Tip

Since anchovies and olives are already quite salty, do not add any more salt before you have tasted the pasta dish. There’s nothing as frustrating as working hard on a dish and taking that first bite into a salty disappointment.

Serve this on a bed of spaghetti and grate cheese over so that it melts into the pasta. Buon appetito!
