Pasta and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Linguini

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine with Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the minced anchovy fillets, stirring to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Olives and Season

    Mix in the sliced black olives and season with salt and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Finish with Basil

    Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped fresh basil. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

  7. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked linguini to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly.

  8. 8

    Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
