How to make Pantry Puttanesca with Linguine
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil over high heat for the linguine.
- While the water heats, prepare the sauce. Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 mashed anchovy fillets (if using); cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in the 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives, 2 tbsp drained capers, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
- While the sauce simmers, add the 12 oz linguine to the boiling salted water and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water. Drain the linguine well.
- Add the drained linguine directly to the simmering puttanesca sauce. Toss the pasta vigorously with the sauce, adding a few splashes of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency and to help the sauce cling to the pasta.
- Stir in 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately, perhaps with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and an additional sprinkle of fresh parsley.
