Classic Pasta Puttanesca

[@AnzelloNYC]

I made this for the first time tonight and let me tell you it was fantastic! The whole family loved it and cleaned their plate! Thank you.

[@karrinwilley8079]

In her cookbook, Sophia Loren explains that the "working girls" of Naples (her hometown) made this for a quick lunch during a working day.....needed some nourishment but didn't want to be off the job too long.......She's a native of Naples so I'm going to go with her interpretation ..❤

[@CHINESE_PRIDE]

That's accurate. It literally translates to "in the style of the whore". Often prepared by chefs in exchange for favors.

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

Hey , who am I to argue with the beautiful Sophia!

[@lanaspringer787]

I heard the same story about the origin of this pasta. Agree!

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

When I learned to cook spaghetti, this was one of the dishes that I learned to make.It is now my favorite.Real simple and tasty.

[@scottfmurphy78]

Getting a bit chefy on us with the tweezers my guy!! I kid, I kid! Love you man!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

😂😂 you can use tongs as well

[@violettbijoux1219]

I made puttanesca last night. I was indeed freaked out by the anchovies, but I don't regret using them one bit ! It doesn't taste fishy at all, just pungent and delicious !

[@glamgoddess9]

Anchovies are in Worcestershire sauce and Caesar salad dressing. I’m not sure why everyone gets so weirded out by them. 😂

[@BenjaminLaird-s9n]

Best pasta I made so far! I have watched tonnes of your videos now and learn so much! Love how it's classic. Big respect from Cambodia!

[@stradingerm]

Thanks!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much!

[@Peter7966]

I think the bronze pasta is generally considered better. It's more slowly dried and has a slightly rougher surface, which holds a sauce better. Other than that, your recipe is spot on. I'm going to make it this evening. Thanks... well done.

[@StephieGm]

Is bronze a pasta brand?

[@Peter7966]

@@StephieGm No... it's a slightly darker color. DeCecco is a good brand, dried more slowly. There are other import brands that are also bronze dried.

[@thethpian]

Unbelievably Korean gochujang subbed for tomato paste elevates the dish even more.

[@ishiahasmith2404]

Ever pre prep the sauce... add in thin slivers of rare/ mid rare Angus prime rib..onto encroute. For hordevour?

[@jenjoy3215]

I grew up in an Italian neighborhood and I love all variations of pasta dishes. Puttanesca is a favorite. Odd that my Italian girl friends stick with their long cooking Sunday sauce and don’t deviate to all the wonderful pasta recipes for our eating pleasure.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Always about routine

[@jenjoy3215]

@@ChefBillyParisiI guess that explains why you first tackled this dish in culinary school.

[@juliodefreitas157]

Absolutely yummy ❤❤

[@judygrayson7896]

Not sure the pepper you used I will look it up, not sure I can find one in my small town. Have a sub.? I guess I can just use red pepper flakes 🤷‍♀️ 9:01

[@mr.e0311]

He used a Fresno. You can use anything you want really. Jalapeno, cayenne, Calabria pepper..

[@synocrat601]

Fresno is just a fully ripened, red colored jalapeno pepper. That's it.

[@mr.e0311]

@synocrat601 no. It is a completely different pepper. The skin is thinner, the placenta is different, the plant is different. The shape of the pepper is different. Jalapeno is not synonymous with fresno. They are not the same cultivar. It's like calling a plumb tomato the same thing as a cherry tomato

[@kailexx1962]

I wonder if you can you use anchovy sauce instead of anchovy filets. The filets seem to be a little strong for me. I've never used anchovy sauce, but I've heard its milder.

[@EnneaIsInterested]

You can use really cheap Asian fish sauce, it's made with anchovies and it stays ready to use FOREVER.

[@kailexx1962]

@@EnneaIsInterested Thanks. I'll try it.

[@spideyman6116]

I made puttanesca before came out delicious 😋😎 this time I made a it with a meat sauce and I added green peppers, yellow onions & a carrot so good 😊

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

I usually replace olives with mushrooms and anchovies with seafood like smoked oysters and mussels to better suit my tastes.❤

[@vin3049]

Pretty disgusting

[@jane-cn6nd]

I guess you're not making puttanesca then.

[@typeviic1]

Grenn olives ok to use?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Yes

[@arifbaidya2583]

Sorry to say, in this dish prwans will be added? I don't know, kindly reply

[@squiddwizzard8850]

There's no prawns in the video

[@yaxomoxay]

Hey Chef - unrelated question. Is that a rosary on your right wrist? It looks beautiful.

[@IDontTalkToCops]

The first origin story about the working girls is the correct one.

[@franka792]

Looks like it Needs more sauce?

[@cindyhauert2339]

I think the second explanation of the name is also the right one!

[@JafuetTheSame]

it's the first story... you wouldn't even question it, if you know the tiramisu story... italy, baby

[@jsonkody]

What is crazy about story that some women made amazing meal? Crazy is calling a good food stinky for no reason -_____-

[@donnababylon]

Does the parsley add to the overall flavor? I don’t like parsley as a garnish. But am wondering if it is necessary to make this dish? I’m open to include it!

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

Yes

[@Raahhhype]

how strong are do the olives taste in this recipe???

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

If you don't like strong tasting Olives, you can sub with Castrelvetrano.

[@konpadelic]

my fav

[@evanpatterson6998]

can you add shrimp to it?

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

Yes, it becomes a seafood puttanesca

[@jwm4ever]

I'm looking for something different but the anchovy scares me that it will taste really fishy. Does the anchovy overpower the flavors?

[@jeremyvincent1407]

Use sardines filet

[@jwm4ever]

@@jeremyvincent1407 OK, thank you

[@Dashi-dash]

It doesn’t.

of all things to be weirded out by its the idea of prostitutes making food 💀

[@johannOplease]

A combination made in heaven. My favourite pizza topping as well

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Never thought of that. Delicious

[@johannOplease]

@@ChefBillyParisi Locally, a pizza with an anchovy, caper and olive topping is usually referred to as a Sicilian

That was priceless!

[@crosskitty9]

One of my favorite pastas.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Same!

[@JAIBRASKYRIM]

using San Marzano in Puttanesca is a waste. Use any whole peeled tomato or even Passata

[@StephieGm]

Why a waste? 🤔

[@JAIBRASKYRIM]

@@StephieGm puttsnesca has too many strong flavours in it(anchovies, capers, kalamata, etc), so you wont feel the difference. Its better to use any peeled tomatoes and save the San Marzano for a pomodoro or something like that where the tomatoes are the star of the show.

[@MrStickman1997]

What did you call me...? -Count Olaf

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Lol, what?

[@MrStickman1997]

@@ChefBillyParisi In A Series Of Unfortunate Events, Violet says it's Puttanesca and Count Olaf thinks she called him a name, because Puttanesca is Italian for "whore's pasta".

[@WaitAMinute1989]

The region of San Marzano can only produce so much tomatoes, too many fine supermarkets claim to sell San Marzano tomatoes. I'm glad you mentioned this D.O.P.

[@tubekulose]

"Spegheddi", "Is-Tshia", "pasta al lamoni"... 🤣🤣🤣

[@rickm5271]

I lke the first story, I think it's terrific that such a meal is included with the deal. Doesn't bother me at all!

[@poogie_bear]

7:12 This origin story doesn't make sense. A restaurant has many many many ingredients, why would you ask for 'whatever you have, throw it together'. hmmmm

[@john-nh3mv]

The name of the restaurant is pronounced is key a, not is she a.

Olives are the part where I always freak out...

[@emilgreger]

You say it's classic then give options for every single ingredient and change it for your preference instead of following recipe

[@ChefBillyParisi]

I give the classical recipe but sometimes people don’t have access to some of these ingredients so I provide options for them.
