Fabri's White Puttanesca Pasta

An unconventional pasta where anchovy, capers, and olives bring deep umami to an oil-based sauce, with dallae adding a Korean twist instead of tomato.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those wanting an oil pasta with deeper, richer flavor than aglio e olio
  • Those who enjoy the salty, savory umami of anchovies and olives
  • Those seeking an unconventional, elegant noodle dish perfect for a wine party or special occasion

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 100g pasta
  • 2 anchovies
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 5 green olives
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 onion
  • 2 peperoncino
  • a little dallae
  • a generous amount of olive oil
  • a little Parmesan cheese

Recipe 🍳

  1. Thinly slice or finely chop the garlic and onion; roughly chop the capers and olives as well.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add just a tiny amount of salt, and cook the pasta.
  3. Generously coat a pan with olive oil, add the prepared garlic and onion, and sauté over low heat until golden and crispy.
  4. Once the garlic turns golden, add the anchovies and mash them with a spatula, stirring until they dissolve into the oil.
  5. Add the chopped capers, olives, and peperoncino to the pan; stir-fry briefly to create the sauce base.
  6. Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan, pour in a bit of pasta water, and let it simmer with the sauce.
  7. Shake the pan vigorously and stir to emulsify the pasta, oil, and water into a thick, cohesive sauce.
  8. Turn off the heat, plate the pasta, top with cleaned dallae as a garnish, and finish with grated Parmesan cheese.
  1. Prep garlic, onion, capers, and olives, and start cooking the pasta.
  2. Coat a pan with olive oil, then sauté garlic, onion, anchovies, capers, olives, and peperoncino in that order to make the sauce.
  3. Add the cooked pasta and pasta water, stir energetically to emulsify the sauce, and finish with dallae and cheese.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Anchovies and capers are quite salty, so be careful not to over-salt the pasta water or sauce.
  • The key to oil pasta is properly emulsifying oil and water into a sauce. After adding the pasta, shake and stir the pan vigorously to ensure a smooth, non-greasy result.
  • If dallae isn't available, you can use arugula or Italian parsley as a garnish—it pairs beautifully with the oil-based flavor.
