It seems recipes do differ from region to region in Italy, and I\u2019m in no way saying this version is truly authentic, but here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need for my take on the classic:<\/p>\n<h3>Spaghetti Puttanesca Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spaghetti<\/strong> \u2013 or any other long-cut pasta.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomatoes<\/strong> \u2013 canned chopped tomatoes work perfectly here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil<\/strong> \u2013 you\u2019ll want a fair amount of good quality extra virgin olive oil to create a gorgeous, silky sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> \u2013 this adds heaps of flavour. I like very thin slices for a more rustic finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olives<\/strong> \u2013 traditionally you\u2019d see black olives, but I much prefer the flavour of kalamata olives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anchovies<\/strong> \u2013 these are a crucial ingredient. You won\u2019t taste them, they melt into the sauce and offer a nice salty (not fishy!) flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capers<\/strong> \u2013 these add to the salty, tangy flavours of the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley<\/strong> \u2013 and lots of it! I divide a bunch into \u2018stalks\u2019 and \u2018leaves\u2019. I then fry and simmer the stalks, then toss through the leaves at the end.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chilli Flakes<\/strong> \u2013 work to spice preference, but this dish should offer a gentle kick of heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Puttanesca with Tuna<\/h3>\n<p>As you can see in the photo below, I\u2019ve also got some tuna going in too. I LOVE adding tuna to this dish. It offers a boost of protein and takes on the flavours so amazingly well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20612 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"tuna puttanesca ingredients\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"overhead shot of tuna puttanesca ingredients with text labels\" width=\"744\" height=\"1072\" data-pin-description=\"This Tuna Puttanesca is so simple to make and even more delicious to eat! | www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\" data-src=\"http:\/\/brainanti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/tuna-puttanesca-thumbnail-744x1072-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Puttanesca Sauce<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Start without heat<\/h3>\n<p>The first thing I recommend doing is <strong>infusing the oil<\/strong>. You\u2019ll want to start with the <strong>oil in a pan with the heat OFF<\/strong>. From there, just add the <strong>garlic<\/strong>, <strong>capers<\/strong>, <strong>anchovies<\/strong>, <strong>parsley stalks<\/strong> and <strong>chilli flakes<\/strong>. As the heat gently rises, it <strong>tickles the flavour<\/strong> out of the ingredients. The anchovies will also begin to melt into the oil. Starting with the heat off also <strong>reduces the risk of the ingredients burning<\/strong> (namely the garlic, which turns bitter if it burns).<\/p>\n<h3>Simmering the sauce<\/h3>\n<p>In with the chopped tomatoes &amp; olives, then give it a good simmer for 15-20mins. This not only <strong>thickens the sauce but <\/strong>will also help <strong>marry all the flavours together<\/strong>. The olives will soften and leak their gorgeous flavour into the sauce.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: add garlic, capers, anchovies, parsley stalks &amp; chilli to oil in pan (photo 1), fry (photo 2), add tomatoes and olives (photo 3), simmer (photo 4), toss in spaghetti and parsley (photo 5), toss in tuna (photo 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20615 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to make tuna puttanesca\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make tuna puttanesca\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"This Tuna Puttanesca is so simple to make and even more delicious to eat! | www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\" data-src=\"http:\/\/brainanti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/how-to-make-tuna-puttanesca-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Tuna Puttanesca FAQ<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><em>Do I have to add tuna?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Nope!
