Pasta Puttanesca with Fresh Tomatoes




Source of Recipe

Recipe Introduction


Very good and highly flavored pasta. Don’t serve this to someone if you don’t know for sure that they like anchovies! The goat cheese makes a surprising and delicious accompaniment to the pasta. The original recipes suggests that ricotta or burrata would also be good. The timing is a little tricky as the sauce shouldn’t wait around for the pasta – both should be ready at about the same time.

List of Ingredients




FOR THE MARINATED TOMATOES
1 pound fresh cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
Salt
2 t. EACH fresh oregano chopped, and thyme leaves
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

FOR THE PASTA AND SAUCE
12 ounces pasta (I used pappardelle, but a large tube-type would be good, too)
1 tablespoon oil from the dried tomatoes
1/2 tablespoon oil from the anchovies
2 garlic cloves minced
4 tablespoons capers chopped
3 tablespoons black olives torn
5 sundried tomatoes slivered
2 ounces anchovy fillets
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup pasta cooking water
2 tablespoons olive brine
a sprig each of fresh oregano and thyme
Salt pepper
6-8 tablespoons fresh cheese such as a creamy goat cheese


Recipe



TOMATOES
In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with a generous amount of salt. Set aside for 5 minutes and drain off the excess water. Add the herbs and vinegar and let marinate until the rest of the dish has been prepared.

PASTA
Boil water for the pasta and cook it according to package directions.

Put both oils in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, capers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and anchovies and sweat, stirring as little as possible, until fragrant and sizzling. Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute or two. It should darken. Add the pasta water, the olive brine, and the herb sprigs. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until the sauce has thickened.

Add the sauce to the pasta and the marinated tomatoes and toss. Taste and adjust seasonings and serve with the cheese.
