Yotam Ottolenghi’s One-pot Puttanesca using Wiech's Egg Noodles

Yotam Ottolenghi’s One-pot Puttanesca

We love Ottolenghi’s take on puttanesca, and instead of using orecchiette, it works fantastically with our Spelt Ribbon Noodles. This recipe is a quick one-pot-wonder, and is easily made vegetarian!

Instructions

Ingredients

  • 50 ml olive oil, plus 2 Tbsp to serve
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 x 400g tin of chickpeas or black beans - drained well and patted dry (240g dry)
  • 2 tsp hot smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ¾ tbsp tomato paste
  • 50 g parsley - roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp capers - chopped
  • 125 g green olives - pitted and roughly chopped in half (80g without seeds)
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes (or could use tin of crushed tomato or 400ml passata)
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • ½ tbsp caraway seeds - lightly toasted and crushed
  • 300 g Wiech's Spelt Ribbon Egg Noodles
  • 500 ml vegetable or chicken stock
  • salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Put the first six ingredients into a large sauté pan, for which you have a lid, and place on a medium-high heat. Fry for 12 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the chickpeas are slightly crisp – you may need to turn the heat down a little if they start to colour too much. Remove one-third of the chickpeas and set aside to use as a garnish.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon zest, capers and olives.
  3. Add two-thirds of the parsley mixture to the pan, along with the cherry tomatoes, sugar and caraway seeds, and cook for 2 minutes on a medium high heat, stirring often. Add the spelt noodles, stock, and 200ml of water, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover with the lid and cook for 14-16 mins minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Add salt to taste.
  4. Serve into bowls. Garnish with additional parsley mixture and fried chickpeas and a good grind of pepper.

Notes

Note: we recommend not adding the additional salt, as written in the linked recipe. Instead, season at the end as required.
