Pasta alla pantesca

by Casa Pappagallo · 705K subscribers on YouTube

Pasta alla pantesca is a simple and flavorful pasta dish from the island of Pantelleria, featuring Mediterranean flavors of tomatoes, capers, olives, and anchovies, topped with toasted breadcrumbs.

Method

  1. In a small pan, toast breadcrumbs with a little olive oil over medium heat until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. In a separate pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened.
  3. Add anchovy fillets and stir until they dissolve into the oil.
  4. Add hand-crushed peeled tomatoes, capers, olives, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little pasta cooking water.
  5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente.
  6. Reserve some pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add to the sauce. Toss to combine, adding a splash of pasta water if needed for creaminess.
  7. Sprinkle in a portion of the toasted breadcrumbs and chopped parsley. Mix well.
  8. Serve the pasta with remaining breadcrumbs and parsley on top.
