I am 76 and of Calabrian descent. I made this dish for Ash Wednesday, and l must say this is the best, the ABSOLUTE BEST putanesca recipe l have ever made! Brava, e grazie Eva!
I just have to comment on the idea that you need to add the pasta to the pan and serve them mixed. I always did that because it just made serving it easier for me, plus I thought it tasted better to have the sauce thoroughly coat the pasta, but I thought I was doing something wrong because cooking shows and my home ec teacher (years ago) all served the noodles then spooned sauce over it. Vindication is mine! Thanks, Ava.
This technique that they used in this video is something called risottare; it's to finish off the pasta to al dente inside the pan whilst releasing some of that starch from the pasta into the sauce to make the sauce cling onto the pasta and therefore, much tastier, just like how the sauce clings into the risotto and gives it flavour as you bite.
Sono molto fortunato di essere nato a Pescara. Mia madre veniva da Como e papà Chiete. Mio nonno si è trasferito da Chiete in Sicilia per diversi anni e poi in Calabria. Ho imparato a cucinare dai miei nonni. Faccio la maggior parte dei miei primi piatti proprio come te. Adoro i tuoi video. grazie.
I've been cooking Puttanesca ever since. I always use San Marzano Pelati for the tomatoes. I usually only crush the olives than slicing them so that it's still whole. The capers are crushed in the pan after the anchovies have melted and the garlic cooked. Thanks to you and Vincenzo's Plate for the inspiration in making Italian Dishes.
You can do it also with dried tomatoes chopped (in Sicily we call it Capuliato). You can add also tuna can and change black pepper with spicy pepper On the plate toasted bread crumbs
When I make this, I have to put the olives in a small food processor because my husband does not like olives……..he don’t know that there are olive in the dish.🤣
One of my absolute favourite pasta recipes, but when you keep thinking of all the different ones we have in Italy, every single one is your favourite 😁
The "aglio in camicia" (unpeeled garlic) technique must have shocked many American friends who might think that Italians use garlic as an ingredient. So classy!
First time I cooked for my housemates, I actually got into an argument with one of them over it. He reckoned that it was pointless to throw it out because "it won't have any garlic flavour". He was the most Anglo person I've ever met. Not an ounce of Italian in him. (And he couldn't cook to save his life) I ended up transfering a small amount of the sauce to another pan just for him, and diced up the garlic and put it in his for him, but because he had really pissed me off, I went to town on the garlic. I gave him like half a head of diced garlic (with the germ) just to spite him. Everyone else enjoyed their meal, with the removed garlic, and I got to watch him eat his words with his own little garlic overloaded pasta. It may have been petty at the time, but he turned out to be a horrible housemate, so he got what he deserved.
That looks delicious. I live in Connecticut and because of covid my grocery store is bare so finding tomatoes is hard. I do use cherry and sometimes that are so bland. I now since watching you add more salt to my water. With such isolation and loneliness 😔 with covid it is a pleasure watching you two. I am 😊 when I see your videos and at my age I am learning new skills.
Hi Cheryl, I hope you are not feeling so lonely today. Can you imagine lockdown before the internet? Goodness, we would have every book in the house reread LOL. Winter tomatoes are no good for anything - Med countries are so lucky that their tomatoes are bursting with flavour in the summer compared to a cool climate, where I live. Replace your bland cherry tomatoes with a big tin of Italian plum tomatoes, squished down a bit, and a tbsp of tomato paste. It will be much tastier! If you leave out the tomato paste, add a pinch of sugar to the plum tomatoes, to balance the acidity.
Yes, I don't cook that in winter time..it is so perfekt for the summer, when it is hot and you don't really spent your time at the hot oven! It's my favorite fast Summer Dish! Thank you Eva and Harper for your great delicious Input! Before I write my shopping list for the week, I always check your and Vincenzos channel to get inspiration!
I love watching Harper’s cooking development and Eva’s very specific vocab development. And these delicious recipes 😋. And eventually I will try some of these recipes myself, though how I prepare my pasta already has been changed using Eva’s fantastic techniques.
This is great for people just learning to cook. a very educational show and funny to watch also. It doesn't feel rushed or overly complicated like most cooking shows.
I learned to make Puttanesca years ago from a young Canadian TV cook named Nadia G and I have made it every summer since then with fresh ingredients out of the garden. The only difference is that she added dried red peppers flakes at the start and added a pinch of brown sugar at the end. But aside from that, most cooks use a similar methods and ingredient list. What I learned from you today is to use a lid during the cook time and to allow the pasta help make the sauce creamy. Bon Appetit!
This is one of my “go to” dishes-although I use more anchovies and more capers (I love them both). But I’ve never done it with cherry tomatoes (I use the passata I made in August). I must try the cherry tomatoes. And I love Eva’s technique of tossing the garlic into the cold pan and letting them heat up until the garlic flavour bleeds out. She’s done it a number of times and I find it wonderful (and easier-minced garlic burns so readily in contrast).
I'm a trained Chef. In my career I found that there are MANY differing opinions on the origin of Pasta Puttanesca in the culinary world. Eva's description is a common one today. One of my more flamboyant contemporary Chef friends once explained a more colorful origin of the sauce. (No pasta in this one) He claimed it goes all the way back to the Roman Empire... He said: Prostitutes made this sauce so that they knew their customers by the smell of the anchovies and garlic. Apparently streets were dark back then...
There is a far less flamboyant version of the origin of the name. In Ferrara they make a cake called "puttana", which just like puttanesca has a ton of different little ingredients. Now, the name comes directly from that: both torta puttana and pasta alla puttanesca are made essentially with whatever you have in your pantry. You round up all the leftovers and little bits and just stick them in. So, they are whores in the sense that they are not that discriminating in their choices. Do you happen to have a couple sundried tomatoes? Stick them in your puttanesca. What about some basil? Yeah, I'm game. Oh, look, there is a little onion leftover... Why not! (Obviously torta puttana uses sweet ingredients.)
3 things: 1) i love you guys :), 2) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE more videos in this format, it is SO helpful and SO educational, 3) we (I) need an Eva cookbook please :)
@8:14 Harper, Eva, one tool that may be helpful to have would be an oval pot for boiling pasta. I have an oval pasta boiling pot which lets me lay spaghetti and linguini and other long pasta into the boiling water all at once without needing to poke the rest of the pasta into the water after another minute. This ensures that the whole strand of pasta cooks evenly. I highly recommend you get an oval pot for boiling spaghetti. There are several brands out there, the one I use is a shiny stainless steel one by Bialetti.
I am also married to a European, Harper. Learning their food culture whilst living in America is amazing. My husband is from Hamburg, Germany. His father was a butcher. His mother was a chef. His brother is a chef that lives in America. So like you, my lessons have taught me many things and have expanded my palette. Prost and Ciao to you and your wife.
I went out and bought these ingredients after I watched Eva make this recipe in a previous video and you guys couldn’t have posted this at a better time because I needed this detailed recipe to feel confident making it correctly. Thank you!!
This recipe is so simple and a great way to use the hundreds of fresh cherry tomatoes growing in my garden. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful recipe.
This is my favorite sauce from my days waiting tables. I worked in fine dining. I miss it sometimes. Thanks for showing me how to make it. There are some steps I wouldn't have thought of like the garlic in clothes, and throwing it away.
Great show guys. 👏 one of the major problems with American pasta dishes is that most Americans pour their pasta sauce on over-cooked pasta. So it's great that you made a point of not doing that and that putting the pasta in a pan with the sauce to finish cooking it with a bit of Parmigiano is a sure bet to get a better dish. Bravo guys.
Absolutely one of my most favorite ❤️ You got me so hungry I went to the kitchen to start cooking and it's only 3:30! I have all the ingredients though, so Pasta Puttanesca it is! ❤️ 🇮🇹 🤗
This is one of your most helpful videos, in that, by your showing Eva guide Harper through each step of the cooking process, we viewers can more easily picture for ourselves just what each of us would go through in cooking this for the first time. _Bravi tutti!_
I keep making this. It's so easy, so quick and looks and tastes like it could come from a top restaurant. I'm not sure if I or my family is more impressed when I make this.
I love how Eva explains and breaks down every ingredient. Capers add flavour but they should be chopped, olives should have texture and shoud be sliced but not too finely, garlic should be cooked with the skin on and then taken out, cherry tomatoes or peeled canned but not roma. Very informative.
@@RWildekrav66 I used Sicilian olives. It was the first time I used them, I really liked the apply-esque flavour of the Sicilian Olives. I'm not sure the best ones to use though.
I’m half-Italian (my grandparents on my dad’s side were from Italy and they moved to Canada) and I’m trying my best to make more pasta dishes 😂 Puttanesca seems like a great start and looks so good! 💖
I make this sauce, with the addition of some chopped onion and a pinch of dried chilli flakes and then put some firm fleshed white fish in it and then bake in the oven for 12 minutes..... glorious.
This dish tells me why I am a subscriber. I learned to make this dish from a restaurant here on Staten Island, Basilio. Spot on, no onions and no cheese. Awesome.
I enjoy this regularly thanks to you guys. This is a dish that is definitely worth a revisit. Everyone should know how to make this simple and absolutely delicious dish. Bravo.
I tried this recipe and it is delicious. I love how you add the pasta to the sauce. I enjoy your show. I am in Toronto Ontario Canada. As a senior you have re-ignited my passion for cooking, thanks so much.
Been Bing watching your vids. Love the work. I'm surprised that Eva knows so many regional recipes and cooks so well. Is it common for younger Italians to have so much cooking experience or is Eva simply extraordinary? Eva, I would love to hear about your cooking background/history. Keep up the awesome videos.
This way of tutorial cooking is great, like having Eva by our side, and Harper does all well and asks the right question. Love the content evolution. Congrats!
One of my very favorite pastas! My recipe calls for arugula, but otherwise, it's exactly the same. Reassuring to know I've been cooking an authentic dish all these years. 😊
I always have the ingredients on hand in my kitchen, as they (mostly) last a really long time. So while I'm studying and working, I make this a lot, cause it's quick, easy, affordable, and I never get tired of eating it. (I also eat capers on their own)
Looks delicious. Love watching you two cook together. I may need to finally start cooking with anchovies. No escaping their importance here. I love your videos.
finishing the pasta in the sauce is the best and most important thing I learned from you and Vincenzo's Plate, total game changer. I'll have to make this dish when my son is home form college, the ladies either don't like olives or capers. Or maybe I'll make it for myself for lunch one day, cheating with a puttanesca ;-)
Years ago I had a friend from Avelino, which is in Campania near Naples, and he used to cook Puttanesca at least once a fortnight. This is similar to how he made it. Except he used to add dried chillies and he wouldn’t add parsley but would add oregano with the tomato. He usually used chopped cherry tomatoes like Eva showed Harper, but a couple of times when he was in a rush he just used tinned tomatoes hahaha. He told me he thought the name came from a joke that “everyone has enjoyed it”, but he wasn’t sure so he could be wrong.
Another excellent Dish with useful tips. Thank you both ☺️ I am Starving after watching. The tips I keep watching are so helpful. Cooking is a skill and there's a technique to it. Excellent 👌 once again. Bless
So excited to see this! I've been making a vegan version of this (without realizing it was a puttanesca!) using white miso instead of anchovies. But now I know how to make it better -- adding the unfinished pasta to the sauce and finishing them together. I look forward to making this tomorrow. I love that there's no dairy in it, so I can make it *almost* authentic.
Made the recipe tonight and it was outstanding. I used tomatoes that I canned from last summer and just let them cook down a bit and it turns out great. Thanks for the recipe. I love learning true Italian cooking.
Eva, un’idea per te: potresti fare un video su contorni comuni in Italia (e spiegare cos’è un contorno), e.g. patate al forno, fagioli in umido, verdure ripassate o grigliate etc. Buon anno a te e Harper!
What recipe should we cook next, guys?
i would just go through the Alphabet, starting with A & just go from there.
Has Eva been to Olive Garden? 😂 That would definitely be comedic. Probably painful.
Pasta alla Boscaiola
I’d love to see her go back to the 1980’s and do a pasta alla vodka also.
Anything with calabrian peppers, they are soooo delicious!

NO CHEESE!!! I can't believe it and I'm so happy to have another recipe that is dairy-free.
I'm sure you know this, but for Italians no dish with seafood is ever eaten with cheese. Very different from French and British seafood cooking!
One of the great things about Puttanesca is the use of anchovies. Such an under-appreciated base of fine pasta sauces. Absolutely delicious.
This is my favorite sauce from my days waiting tables. I worked in fine dining. I miss it sometimes.

Eva and Harper thank you for the lol's .... I love Puttanesca! 🍷🍝 Love y'all too. Ciao. Al from Sarasota, Florida 🇺🇸 🇮🇹
Definitely my favourite dish!
Years ago I had a friend from Avelino, which is in Campania near Naples, and he used to cook Puttanesca at least once a fortnight.
This is similar to how he made it. Except he used to add dried chillies and he wouldn’t add parsley but would add oregano with the tomato. He usually used chopped cherry tomatoes like Eva showed Harper, but a couple of times when he was in a rush he just used tinned tomatoes hahaha.
He told me he thought the name came from a joke that “everyone has enjoyed it”, but he wasn’t sure so he could be wrong.
Another excellent Dish with useful tips. Thank you both ☺️ I am Starving after watching. The tips I keep watching are so helpful. Cooking is a skill and there's a technique to it. Excellent 👌 once again. Bless
That’s the thing those the cherry tomatoes just hanging out with the olive oil etc really is all you need for a quick good sauce.
I looked up cherry tomato recipes and got this recipe. So good!!
So excited to see this! I've been making a vegan version of this (without realizing it was a puttanesca!) using white miso instead of anchovies. But now I know how to make it better -- adding the unfinished pasta to the sauce and finishing them together. I look forward to making this tomorrow. I love that there's no dairy in it, so I can make it *almost* authentic.
Do you think nori or kombu might make a good replacement for the sardines?
Made the recipe tonight and it was outstanding. I used tomatoes that I canned from last summer and just let them cook down a bit and it turns out great. Thanks for the recipe. I love learning true Italian cooking.
❤️❤️❤️
I always slice and keep my garlic in my sauces, but otherwise, this is beautiful!
OMG frying anchovies! So Italian I’m going to explode with passion!
Made this dish tonight. I love anchovies so I figured I’d like this dish and I did! My wife did too.
this is my favourite pasta dish, although I usually can't stop myself from just throwing in the whole can of anchovies
😂😂😂
Eva vi guardo sempre dalla Svizzera, vi adoro
I tried your first version, and it's a keeper. Quite amazing.
Lovely! Simple easy dish that’s healthy and delicious! Perfectly executed ‘Arper!
Bravo 👏 Harper! You are becoming quite the cook 🧑🍳! and credit to the best teacher and cook ever, Eva❣️
One of my fave dishes ... do you have a great recipe for Pasta Disgraziata? 🤗 Thanks again guys 🥰
You guys present a very nice italian recipe and i just want try everone and i just LOVE her italian accent who reminds me the beautiful ITALIA :)
Eva, un’idea per te: potresti fare un video su contorni comuni in Italia (e spiegare cos’è un contorno), e.g. patate al forno, fagioli in umido, verdure ripassate o grigliate etc. Buon anno a te e Harper!
Grazie per l’idea!
Garlic with the shirt! This makes me happy
You guys are the best!
