Italy's Scandalous Spaghetti PUTTANESCA
===========
Pasta Puttanesca is a celebration of Mediterranean ingredients: olives, capers, anchovies, tomatoes and garlic! It is also a classic and quick recipe of Naples. What many don't know? This recipe's name literally translates to 'whorish' and has a colorful history!
The first mention of this dish comes from an Italian cooking manual written by Ippolito Cavalcanti in the 1800's where the basics of the dish are described without the tomato.
Over time, as tomato became popular in Italy, tomato also became an ingredient in the Puttanesca.
And for that scandalous name? Well, watch our video and then let us know in the comments what your favorite theory is!

After different experiences with Anchovies use in italian-style pasta, I notice the traditional way ; to start with them in the first steps, into the oil to transfer there its strong taste. I still do this but a huge part of this taste disappear with heath. So here’s my optional tip use anchovies in first steps with oil and at the very last step : add some uncooked canned anchovies, chopped into the pan before serve and few small elements directly into the dish on the plate. thoses will be the tastiest and shouldn’t dominate the dish. amount is according to everyone’s taste but soft-mild presence of those anchovies should be good while keeping the spirit of puttanesca.

[@ritasotgiu7983]

Ok 😋

[@wilsonl3911]

Nice video. 1 quick question, is it ok if I choose to sautee the capers and olives before adding the tomatoes?

[@PiattoRecipes]

It’s another way of doing it. The capers will most likely fall apart. Stronger caper taste, a bit different texture. Same goes for the olives. Definitely worth trying.

[@jsio3820]

👍

[@baracksantx3466]

Puttanesca because it is full of balls/olives?
