Another one-pot pasta recipe you can cook in under 30 minutes. This is spaghetti with tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, garlic, and chilli which is similar to a puttanesca but we're cooking it a little differently. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 5 anchovy fillets
- 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 red chilli, sliced
- 1 tin crushed tomatoes (about 400g (14 oz) each)
- salt, to taste
- 220g (8 oz) dried spaghetti
- small bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 12 olives, roughly crushed
- 2 tbsp capers
Directions
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and anchovies. Use the back of a wooden spoon to break the anchovies up as they heat, allowing them to melt into the oil.
- Add the diced garlic and sliced chilli, and sautĂ© for 35â40 seconds until fragrant. Then add the crushed tomatoes, a small pinch of salt, and mix well. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Add the dried spaghetti directly to the pan, along with about 200ml (Ÿ cup) of water. Stir frequently to ensure the pasta cooks evenly and absorbs the sauce. Let the spaghetti cook for 9â10 minutes, stirring often, until it is nearly tender.
- Once the pasta is almost fully cooked, add the olives, capers, and chopped parsley. Toss everything well to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
