Italian Puttanesca Pot Roast Food

ROASTED TOMATO PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F, and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle the cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to your preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet (large enough to toss all your pasta in) over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, along with the garlic and anchovies. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the anchovies have melted into the oil and the garlic is fragrant.
• By now, your water should be boiling. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, shaving off 1 minute of cooking time (i.e. the pasta should be just under "al dente.") Reserve at least 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
• To the garlic and anchovies, add the the olives, capers, red pepper flakes, and tomatoes. Toss in the pasta, and toss everything together for a minute, allowing the pasta to absorb the liquid in the pan. If it starts to look dry, add 1/3 cup of pasta water (or more as needed) to give it a silky texture. Continue tossing, and the pasta will absorb the additional liquid. Toss in the herbs, and serve with Parmesan cheese.

EASY PASTA PUTTANESCA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large, deep pan, heat a good ¼ cup or so extra virgin olive oil. Warm the oil over medium heat and add the anchovy fillets and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2 minutes or so, tossing the anchovies around (they will somewhat melt into the oil infusing it with flavor).
• Add the garlic and cook for a brief 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the tomatoes, ½ of the olives and capers, and the dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer, while using your cooking utensil to break up the tomatoes.
• Lower the heat and cover the pan part-way. Allow the sauce to cook for a good 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened to your liking.
• While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta in boiling salted water to al dente, according to package instructions (mine took about 9 minutes).
• When the pasta is ready, transfer it to the pan with the sauce and toss well. If you need to, add a little of the pasta cooking water. Taste and adjust the salt, if needed.
• Garnish with the remaining olives and capers and fresh parsley. Serve!

ITALIAN PUTTANESCA POT ROAST

Steps:

• In a large covered casserole or crock pot, drizzle the oil.
• Place 1/2 the chopped onions, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, capers and a little marinara sauce in the casserole.
• Place the meat on top and season well with salt and pepper.
• Layer the remaining onion, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, parsley, capers and marinara sauce on top.
• Cover dish and place in a 260 degree oven for 5 to 6 hours depending on the thickness of your cut of meat. It should be falling apart when it is ready. It might be wise, if you are using a thick hunk of meat, to cut it into pieces before assembling and cooking the dish.
• Shred the meat, remove any bones and large pieces of fat and discard them, drain off the liquid fat (I do this into a bowl which I refrigerate so I can retrieve the non-fatty part that sinks to the bottom). Stir it around to distribute the ingredients.
• Sprinkle with the olives and feta cheese.
• Serve over pasta, rice or with a French baguette with a nice Romaine salad and a good glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.

• Stir the tomatoes, anchovies, olives and capers into the onion, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 mins. Season to taste.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions, then drain and toss with the sauce and parsley.
