Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pit and chop the olives if not already done.
- Roughly chop the anchovy fillets.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Dice the tomatoes.
- Chop the fresh basil.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Add the chopped anchovies to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, until they begin to dissolve into the oil.
- Add the diced tomatoes, capers, and chopped olives to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
- Stir in the cooked white beans. Mix well to ensure the beans are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the beans are heated through and flavors are well combined.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh basil.
- Serve the puttanesca warm as a main dish or as a side. You can garnish with additional basil or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Tips:
- If you prefer a less salty dish, rinse the capers and anchovies before using them.
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Use high-quality olive oil to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- Fresh basil leaves will add a burst of freshness, but dried basil can be used as a substitute if needed.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the anchovies and add a splash of soy sauce for umami flavor.
Your White Bean Puttanesca with olives, anchovies, and capers is now ready to be served. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish with crusty bread or over a bed of pasta for a complete meal. Bon appétit!
