Rigatoni Puttanesca Recipes

PASTA PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil, garlic, anchovies, and crushed pepper. Saute mixture until anchovies melt into oil and completely dissolve and garlic is tender, about 3 minutes: your kitchen never smelled so good! Add olives, capers, tomatoes, black pepper, and parsley. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toss sauce with cooked pasta. Pass bread and cheese at the table and serve with Bitter Greens Salad.
• Combine greens in a salad bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the bowl. Drizzle salad liberally with extra virgin olive oil. Toss salad and season salad with salt and pepper. Arrange salad on plates. Garnish plates with black olives, if using.

RIGATONI WITH CAULIFLOWER PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, season with salt and cook, without stirring, until it starts browning around the edges, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir once or twice and cook until well browned and softened, 5 to 7 more minutes. Push some of the cauliflower to one side of the pot, add the garlic, red pepper flakes and anchovies and cook until the garlic is lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the capers and olives.
• Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the sauce; cook, stirring, about 1 minute, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and stir in the parsley. Drizzle each serving with olive oil and top with parmesan.
