It’s #NationalOliveDay today & a great time to share one of my favorite olive-forward dishes—PASTA PUTTANESCA!
🍝
I have such distinct memories of the first time that I made & ate this dish — the combined pungent flavors of anchovies, capers, olives, garlic, red pepper & oregano in a savory tomato sauce just drew me in & I was hooked (which, supposedly, is where the name comes from!)
🍝
For some background, ‘Pasta alla Puttanesca’ translates to ‘Prostitute’s Pasta’. One legend says that it is so called because it was easily & quickly prepared in-between clients, while another says that its seductive aroma was used to lure potential clients!
🍝
Whatever the origin, this dish is a winner for sure.

🍝
PASTA PUTTANESCA
Serves 4-6

2Tbsp evoo
2oz anchovies w/oil
8-10 cloves garlic, chopped
pinch crushed red pepper
2oz capers, drained
4oz black oil-cured olives, pitted, lightly chopped
6 floz dry white wine
1–28oz can whole peeled tomatoes, hand-crushed
½tsp dried oregano
pinch bl pepper
1lb pasta
2Tbsp fresh oregano (optional)
add’l evoo to finish

•Combine oil, anchovies, garlic & peperoncino in large skillet & heat on med-high. Sauté 2-3 min or until anchovies have dissolved & garlic is just starting to soften & brown, then add capers & olives to pan & cook until they both get a little crispy.
•Add wine & let it reduce by 1/2, then add tomatoes, oregano & bp & let it simmer, uncovered, for 8-10min.
•Cook pasta for 2min less than al dente.
•When pasta is ready, transfer it to sauce w/½c pasta water. Add add’l pasta water if more moisture needed.
•Garnish w/fresh oregano & evoo.

My very messy, very veggie-forward, mid-week scrambled eggs with sautéed spinach, roasted peppers and slow-roasted tomatoes on toasted ciabatta.

Perfect, albeit not the most beautiful dish in the world.

Happy Thursday, all!

“There is something profoundly satisfying about

“There is something profoundly satisfying about sharing a meal. Eating together, breaking bread together, is one of the oldest and most fundamentally unifying of human experiences.” (Barbara Coloroso)

What a great evening on Monday night and a wonderful way to close out the Memorial Day holiday weekend breaking bread with friends and fellow Italian Americans over delicious food and wine!🇮🇹❤️

Thank you to Gianluca Rottura of @invinoveritaswinesnyc for organizing a fun get together at New York City Sicilian restaurant @norma.gastronomia.siciliana 😋

Not only was all the wine flowing (including some seriously great homemade wine by recent “Beat Bobby Flay” champion Angelo Competiello @mind_machine ), but the table was abundant with Sicilian delicacies like panelle chickpea flour fritters, arancini, veal meatballs, oregano pizza, busiate con pesto trapanese and more!🍷🍝🍽️

We finished off out meal with cannoli (obviously) and some Rucolino amaro from Ischia.🥃

The best part, of course, was spending time and catching up with friends, while creating new memories. So great to see you all and already looking forward to next year’s dinner!💚🤍❤️

I don’t always eat cannolis with organic local New Jersey strawberries in season.

But when I do, the cannoli cream is always infused with those same strawberries.🍓

In case you were wondering, I am not above making a leftover pork cutlet, roasted red pepper, roasted, tomato, sautéed spinach sandwich, drizzled with @oliopiro extra-virgin olive oil on a Philly soft pretzel.

And, you shouldn’t be either.

Thoughts???
