Pasta Puttanesca: A fantastic weeknight Italian pasta dish!

[@flavorthoughts]

Did you have Pasta Puttanesca before or *did you try this recipe?* Let me know what you like about that Italian classic and how the recipe turned out! Have you already tried my homemade Chinese Chili Oil? Here is the recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZPLeZWdaMaWi8k

[@solitaris7181]

I've never tried it but I'm sure I'd love it for it looks so savory just like I do my cooking, simple but yet very savory. Thanks!

[@jane-cn6nd]

I have made pasta puttanesca several times and it is very delicious.

[@flavorthoughts]

@@solitaris7181 that's great to hear. I'm also a big fan of simple but hearty cuisine, and I'm sure you'll like this recipe.

[@flavorthoughts]

@@jane-cn6nd awesome 😊👏 thanks for the comment Jane

[@sterlingtmeyer]

Are those kalamata olives

[@locked01]

As an Italian, I fully approve of this recipe. If I may, being that we eat pasta almost every day, I would go for half the oil if I cooked it often.

[@justamy46]

I just prepared this dish, following the recipe exactly as written with the exception that I only had crushed San Marzano tomatoes rather than whole. This was so delicious! Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

[@flavorthoughts]

So happy to hear you tried the linguine puttanesca recipe and that you liked it 🤩 thanks for your opinion and happy cooking!

[@JohnHausser]

Discovered this recipe 8 years ago! Most underrated pasta dish! Hands down Cheers from San Diego California

[@flavorthoughts]

Definitely a rather underrated pasta dish, especially considering that you almost only need ingredients from the larder

[@StevenLawson]

Just cooked this for our dinner and it was absolutely delicious - will definitely have this again, thanks!

[@flavorthoughts]

Yeah.. so happy to hear Steven and thanks for the feedback. Wish you a great day / evening!

[@davidjohnfarrell4579]

That looks so gorgeous

[@vanquish2010]

I made this yesterday! May have used a bit too much olive oil, yet it was out of this world YUM! Thank you

[@esaedromicroflora1247]

In Napoli we make an even simpler version: no anchovies, and instead of parsley some very little oregano. Also you can experiment common variations with tomato puree and even with fresh tomatoes

[@flavorthoughts]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Yes I already heard about these versions sometimes. Need to try that one day as well 😋😋

[@nathanevans6331]

I've been living in Italy for 25 years and I'm a chef....well done that looks good ..I could add a few tips but very well done...

You know that single fullstops are perfectly sufficient to separate sentences, don't you?

[@Sanka1337]

do they use too much olive oil ? 80 ml seems excessive

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

This has always been with the masses.

[@VincentandCoBxl]

My favourite pasta. I generally make enough sauce for three meals, it is so concentrated, so I have almost always one or two small boxes of frozen sauce to make a fast pasta. While the pasta is cooking, the sauce is thawing in the saucepan so I litterally have a delicious and easy dish ready in 10 minutes.

[@flavorthoughts]

Always great to have some spare sauce to warm up for a quick and delicious dinner 😋

[@Patrik.Pereira]

Bravo, I'm from Rome and that is a correct puttanesca

[@flavorthoughts]

Happy you like it Patrik, thanks 😉

[@lorenzshawl8230]

❤❤❤❤❤one of my very favorites well done👍

[@coucoubrandy1079]

I make this from time to time, but I add more garlic and anchovies and on slow heat so that the oil is thoroughly infused, only kalamata olives and a lot too, and then comes the chilli flakes. Those heat your mouth at first, but not that much. I use either dried chipotle or fresh habaneros ,de-seeded and a bit of the pith left. Parsley, more than that, but fresh tomatoes, the tins are good, but if you grow yours...as for the wine, that's your choice 😉

[@mattcody4933]

I'm going to try this one, cheers!

Really does look fantastic

[@kellenross8657]

i always add fresh lemon juice at the end. toasted breadcrumbs are nice, too. and haters be damned, a light dusting of good parm or romano is nice, too :P and if you want to bulk it up a bit, add some nice olive oil packed tuna. that becomes more of a pasta al tonno

[@flavorthoughts]

Lemon juice sounds great as a fresh, lemony kick, and parmigiano makes better almost everything right?! 😉😊

[@dontworry5981]

I like using sardines and topped with breadcrumbs. It's good with a little arugula too

[@atakd]

I make mine with roast chicken, peas and potatoes. Not the original recipe but, in keeping with the zeitgeist, if I call it putanesca it's putanesca. So there!

[@cyndifoore7743]

I ‘m going to try adding your extras next time, hard to improve this dish but yours sounds wonderful.

[@cyndifoore7743]

I’ve made this but I prefer Kalamata olives. This looks amazing.

I also use Kalamata olives most of the time as well 😋

Make an extra 1-2 portions Steven. They might want a refill 🍝😋

[@ceciliadawson1196]

I just made this first time and I needed something quick!Also 🤞🏽hoping my Son would like it because the combination of ingredients were unusual to him but I recognized this would be a hit from eating at high end Italian restaurants in San Francisco CA! It was a hit because he went back for large portion for seconds. I did make some changes such as no anchovies, 1/2 portion of Capers & black canned olives; used crushed tomatoes because that’s what I had on hand making it almost too tomato’s taste so added small amount capers; I will next time use less VOO in the pan and I forgot dried parsley (it was all I had) PHEW!

[@flavorthoughts]

Happy to hear Peter!

[@markmaioli4]

Looks great but one question, why not green olives?

[@flavorthoughts]

Good question Mark! Traditional Puttanesca is made with black olives. Maybe because they have a richer, sweeter (more complex/ripe) taste than green olives which are more on the bitter-sour, salty and fresh side. Or because they were more readily available in the pantry in all seasons. If anyone has a more detailed answer, I'm curious too! 😊

[@yeti5857]

Thanks man!

[@antonboludo8886]

Nice! I does not only have to be for weeknights 😀 It is quick to prepare. According to the story of its origin, the putanas made and ate this between clients.

[@flavorthoughts]

[@MarfLoog]

Why don´t you take the oil from the anchovies to fry them!? Seems to me it must be full of flavour!

[@eldiosotto9524]

I like this channel. Beautiful video editing. Also, it's not like a lot of food channels that feature some dorky foodie totaly ruining the vibe with his/her obnoxious personality and lame jokes. Chapeau.

Much appreciated my friend! glad you liked it. Have a great day!

[@captainkaleb]

Some cayenne pepper and/or chili powder works fine if you don't have chili flakes at home.

[@captainkaleb]

Also, this dish is a lot tastier if you add in a mix of green and black olives.

[@jeanpaulbelmont879]

I do the same recipe but use orzo instead of linguine.

[@flavorthoughts]

Never had it with orzo before, but sounds interesting! Like a creamy risotto texture 😋

[@jeanpaulbelmont879]

It’s great summer meal with a side of a citrus dressed salad..

[@gobxd]

can I make this without anchovies or does that ruin it then😅

[@derringera]

Same question lol.

[@flavorthoughts]

They add an special, not instrusive flavor and "umami" taste to the dish, bit lets say if you never had Puttanesca and you make it without anchovies, you'd still end up with a super delicious pasta anyway. I also covered the point with anchovies a little on the blog. So if you don't like the taste of them on its own, you could just use as little as 1-2 anchovies and you probably won't recognize them as the "anchovie taste" in the pasta then. 😊

[@derringera]

@@flavorthoughts Thank you! I ask with a vegetarian in the home. Will try without.

[@Freroooo]

Are you from Italy? If you're not, i bet you're really closed!!! Bravo!

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... really close*

[@KittenBowl1]

The dish looks great. You should get portable gas burner instead of electric. I noticed it takes a long time for the pan to come up to sizzling temp and most dishes can be cooked way better on gas burner.

[@flavorthoughts]

Just switched to a gas burner a few days ago as I prefer cooking with gas. The main reason though was not the speed, induction is super fast, but more that my induction plate I used was crazy loud cause of fans. So the next video will be with a gas stove. Looking forward 😊

[@robertlosasso4222]

You haven’t used the newer electric ranges , they get hot really fast .I’ve used both gas and electric , there’s no difference.

[@albertorudi5168]

Let say that anchovies+cappers+black olives+chili give a very salted final result and, considering the amount of garlic you showed, not an easy digestion, actually. As from the historic recipe (1930, probably from the island of Ischia) anchovies are an option. A good compromise could be to reduce (to half?) those ingredients except tomato/parsley. But, as always, "up to You"... Buon appetito

[@m.c.fromnyc2187]

Anchovies and capers should always be properly desalted before use. Otherwise, the saltiness would be excessive.

[@karinliane547]

I love italian. Pasta. Putanesca ! Even earlie for. Breakfast. ! ❤❤❤

[@dennydevito1174]

Pecorino or parmesan?

[@flavorthoughts]

Nothing needed actually, but nothing wrong to finish with some lovely parmesan. I would probably go for parmesan as it is less salty compared to pecorino and the Puttanesca normally has enough salt from capers, olives and anchovies.

[@paulblade6064]

looks great but less parsley though

Nicely done but buy a bench scraper, scrapping the edge of your knife against the cutting board will dull it. A bench scraper is a game changer.

Or just flip your knife, using the non sharpened side...

[@IK121266]

Thank you! With all respect, I think the oil is a bit too much. It's better to saute the ingredients, not fry them. Of course, it's all a matter of taste.

[@dixonpinfold2582]

What about some standing time to let the linguine soften the rest of the way? You took it out rather early, remember, and eating undercooked and very chewy linguine is not a pleasant experience.

[@fiending]

what kind of meat goes with this 🥩🤔

[@Matteo13ilCapo]

meat?

[@flavorthoughts]

Thanks for your question. It depends if you mean meat as a side dish ore adding it to the sauce. By adding it to the sauce its not an authentic Pasta Puttanesca anymore. But if you like to add some meat anyway, I think ground beef would work well, like making a bolognese-style sauce and cooking the sauce even longer.

[@niklas8523]

If you never tried salsiccia sausage, you should totally start adding it to any pasta. It's kind of like ground pork but the taste, spiciness and sauciness is heavenly

[@fiending]

@@flavorthoughts I ended up adding shrimp from Chef Jean-Pierre's recipe 🍝🦐. I wonder if anchovy's can be supplemented with Asian shrimp sauce, they both smell very similar and the colour is very similar
