    A big pot of pasta makes everything look quite alright, isn’t it? Well… almost. Just forget about all the carbs ;) So treat yourself with a nice bowl of this Bavette Pasta Puttanesca. If you are really hungry you can even come back for a second one… and tomorrow you can do an extra round on the treadmill or go for a long walk with your doggy. Deal? ;P

    The world is a mess right now. Such a big mess you want to actually eat several pots of this pasta. Well. I don’t what to bring your mood down, so let’s focus on pasta. Shall we? ;)

    Anyway. Here at home, I have the pot of Pasta Puttanesca most of the time for myself – one of the many reasons why I like this dish so much ;P It seems like I am the only one here who can “handle” anchovies and capers. For this very reason, I am not making this dish that often. I can’t always go against the majority vote at home. That would be somewhat “evil”, right? Well… that does not mean I can’t share one of my favorite pasta dishes with you! This dish is perfect for a weeknight when you don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen after a hard day at work ;)

    The name of the pasta dish is not necessarily flattering when translated from Italian. They could have chosen something less offensive I guess. But that’s the way it is… I guess you can’t change the name anymore when the dish is so popular all over the world ;P

    Anyway. The sauce is done in no time – almost as quick as the pasta needs to cook “al dente”. The original version of this dish is quite spicy, so feel free to go all-in with the chili flakes. The amount listed in the recipe gives you some heat… add more if you like it hot. If you can’t get bavette in your supermarket (I linked to an online shop in the recipe) you can replace them with regular spaghetti, linguini, or even macaroni – it’s up to you. As long as the sauce sticks to the pasta it’s all good ;P

    Well, well… get your pots and pans ready and get the anchovies and capers out of the pantry. Let’s cook something delicious!

    If you like pasta dishes like this one here you should check out these here as well. Even though this is a blog dedicated mostly to baking recipes – I got some nice pasta recipes as well here ;P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Prepare a large pot with salt water and set aside. Peel and chop the onion. Peel and slice the garlic. Drain the anchovy fillets and chop roughly. Slice the olives. Wash, dry, and half the tomatoes. Set everything aside.

    2. Place the pot with the water on the stove and slowly bring the water to a boil while preparing the sauce.

    3. Add the olive oil to a large frying pan and heat up over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for several minutes until soft and glossy. Add the garlic, chopped anchovy fillets, and capers to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the sliced olives, cherry tomatoes, and chili flakes and cook everything over medium heat until the tomatoes are soft and start falling apart slightly – takes about 8-10 minutes.

    4. While the sauce is cooking, prepare the bavette pasta by adding it to the boiling water. Cook about 2 minutes shorter than required to be “al dente” – my pasta needed 7 minutes. When the pasta is ready, take about 1 cup of the pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta and add to the frying pan with the sauce. Stir to combine. Gradually add some of the pasta water and mix everything. Continue cooking and adding more pasta water for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and fresh pepper – be careful with the salt, the anchovies are already quite salty. Add the pasta to serving bowls, sprinkle with some chopped parsley, some freshly grated parmesan, and serve with some toasted bread.

    1. Einen großen Topf mit gesalzenem Wasser vorbereiten und zur Seite stellen. Die Zwiebel schälen und würfeln. Den Knoblauch schälen und in feine Scheiben schneiden. Die Sardellenfilets abtropfen lassen und dann grob hacken. Die schwarzen Oliven in Scheiben schneiden. Die Tomaten waschen, trocknen und halbieren. Alles zur Seite stellen.

    2. Den Topf mit dem Wasser auf den Herd stellen und das Wasser langsam zum Kochen bringen, während die Soße zubereitet wird.

    3. Das Olivenöl in eine große Pfanne geben und erhitzen. Die gehackte Zwiebel dazugeben und anschwitzen lassen, bis die Zwiebeln glasig und weich sind. Knoblauch, Sardellenfilets und Kapern dazugeben und bei mittlerer Hitzezufuhr alles für 2-3 Minuten mit anbraten. Die Olivenscheiben, Tomaten und Chiliflocken dazugeben und alles so lange köcheln lassen, bis die Tomaten weich sind – dauert etwa 8-10 Minuten. Immer wieder einmal umrühren.

    4. Während die Sauce kocht, die Bavette Pasta ins kochende Salzwasser geben und etwa 2 Minuten kürzer kochen, als auf der Packung für “al dente” angegeben ist – bei mir dauerte es etwa 7 Minuten. Wenn die Nudeln fertig sind, etwa 1 Tasse des Nudelwassers aus dem Topf nehmen und zur Seite stellen, die Nudeln abgießen und etwas abtropfen lassen. Die Nudeln zur Pfanne dazugeben und mit der Soße vermischen. Nach und nach etwas Nudelwasser dazugeben, gut verrühren und alles etwa 3-4 Minuten weiterkochen – ggf. noch etwas mehr Nudelwasser nachschütten. Die fertige Pasta mit Salz und frischem Pfeffer abschmecken – beim Salz etwas vorsichtig sein, weil die Sardellen i.d.R. schon recht salzig sind. Die Nudeln auf Schüsseln verteilen, mit gehackter Petersilie und frisch geriebenem Pamesan bestreuen und mit etwas geröstetem Brot servieren.
