Kitchen time
Something I cooked for my "flower-eating" (*g*) guest a couple of days ago:
Spaghetti puttanesco vegetaria
The original recipe includes anchovies and no dried tomatoes ... so I had to improvise a little. I really liked the result.
Ingredients
- Spaghetti
- dried tomatoes (if you only have dried tomatoes in vegetable oil make sure to pour off the oil and dab them off with a paper towell)
- a small glass of black olives
- an onion
- fresh basil
- oregano
- garlic
- canned tomatoes (no fresh tomatoes, the canned ones are far more tasty and aromatic)
- fresh grounded pepper, sea salt, grounded chilli
- honey
- a small glass of capers
- olive oil
- grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
Chop up onions and garlic, cut the olives into rings and the dried tomatoes in little stripes. Carefully fry everything in a large pan with some olive oil and caramelize/glaze it with some honey.
Add the capers and the canned tomatoes (chop up the tomatoes a little bit or mash them with a cooking spoon).
Chop the herbs into fine pieces and add them as well. Season the mixture with sea salt, pepper, chili and a spoonful of honey and cook until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Cook the spaghetti al dente in salted water (Add a good amount of salt. Don't add oil to the water and please don't rinse the noodles, just pour off the water)
Mix everything in a large bowl and serve.
Add Parmesan cheese if you like.
