28 ouncescrushed tomatoes

2 Tbspnon pareil capers

1 Tbspextra virgin olive oil

1 Tbspolive brine

3garlic cloves

1 tspred pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente, according to package directions. Once cooked, drain the water reserving at least 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Step 2

As the pasta cooks, make the puttanesca sauce in a large pan. Heat a large pan over low-medium heat and add crushed tomatoes, olives, olive brine, olive oil, capers, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking. Once the sauce has cooked down, add the cooked and drained pasta to the pan. Toss the pasta in the sauce to fully coat.

Step 4

Optionally, ladle in reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to bring the sauce together. The pasta water helps thicken the sauce, making it cling to the noodles. It also helps prevent the pasta from drying out.
