Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or pasta of choice and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the anchovy fillets and cook, stirring, until they dissolve into the oil, about 2 minutes.
Add Vegetables
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, capers, jalapenos, black olives, and chili flakes. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Putanesca!
