Puttanesca Pasta Bake With Quarantine Sauce Food

PUTTANESCA PASTA BAKE WITH QUARANTINE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional). 2. Cut each lasagne sheet into thirds - the size of sheets can change. 3. Add ricotta, spinach, lemon zest and garlic to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, give it a good stir and set aside. 4. To a saucepan, add Quarantine sauce, white wine (or stock), olives, semi-dried tomatoes, capers and anchovy, and bring to a simmer. 5. While the sauce is simmering, lay out the pasta pieces and fill each with 2 heaped dessert spoons of the ricotta mixture and roll it over roughly once. 6. Pour the olive oil over the base of a baking dish and add ½ cup of the sauce. Nestle a rolled sheet into the sauce and repeat until you have filled the dish. Pour over the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella over and bake for 30 minutes. 7. Open the oven door, and throw in a few cherry tomatoes and add a pinch each of chilli flakes and dried oregano on top. Bake for another 10 minutes, then attack with a fork.

PANTRY PULL PASTA PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Melt the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season aggressively with salt. Add the pasta and cook to al dente, 1 to 2 minutes less than the package recommends. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the anchovies and cook, using a wooden spoon to break them up, until the anchovies begin to dissolve into the oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic and chile flakes and cook, stirring, an additional 1 to 2 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic. Stir in the tomatoes, olives, capers, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the spaghetti and 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Cook, tossing, until the pasta is coated and the sauce begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Top with the toasted breadcrumbs and serve immediately.

PUTTANESCA MEATBALL BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the meatballs until they are browned all over, then tip them into a dish. Add the garlic and chilli, if using, to the leftover oil in the pan and cook it briefly along with the anchovies, if using. Fry until the anchovies almost melt, then add the courgettes and cook until any liquid they give off has evaporated. Stir in the capers, olives and passata and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and cook for 5 mins more, then season if needed.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions, drain well, then tip into an ovenproof baking dish about 25cm wide. Spoon over the meatball mixture, stir into the pasta and level the surface as much as possible. Sprinkle over the parmesan and bake for 30 mins, or until the top is browned a little and the sauce is bubbling. Rest for 5 mins before serving.
