Instructions

Step 1

In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, add the extra virgin olive oil with the garlic cloves and cook until the garlic just starts to brown a bit ( but not burned !) and then remove the garlic from the pan.

Step 2

Add the olives and capers and crush them with a wooden spoon, then add the tomato pure and continue to cook on medium heat for about ten minutes, stirring every so often

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add salt, then add the fettuccine and cook until ready. Reserve about 1/3 cup pasta water before you drain the fettuccine and add it to the frying pan with the puttanesca sauce, stir and continue to cook for 30 seconds adding some of the pasta water to help thicken the sauce.

Step 4

Serve with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley on the top!

Step 5

Enjoy!
