HERO INGREDIENT: Saclà Intenso Stir-In Tomato & Garlic Pasta Sauce
1. Spaghetti Puttanesca
INGREDIENTS
- 250g of spaghetti or bucatini
- 1 jar of Saclà Intenso Stir-In Tomato & Garlic Pasta Sauce
- 1 tbsp of Fragata Spanish Capers
- 150g of Fragata Anchovy Stuffed Olives, chopped in half
- Parsley
METHOD
Simmer the pasta in salted water. When it’s al dente (after about 7 minutes – double check the packet for times), test by eating a strand. Drain. Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Pour in the capers, the chopped olives, and the Saclà. Simmer. Taste and season with black pepper – you may not need extra salt as you’ve some salty flavours in there already. Turn the drained pasta into the sauce and cook gently for 1 minute. Serve. Finish with a drizzle of decent extra virgin olive oil. Scatter over the parsley to top off this full-flavoured Neapolitan staple.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Melt the butter in the pan on the hob; pour in the white wine. Simmer off for a minute. Pour in the Saclà and stir a little. Add the cream. Then the spinach and wilt. Season the salmon and roast in the oven for 8 minutes. When it’s cooked – just pink inside – place gently in the pan with the creamy spinach. Taste – season with salt and black pepper if needed. Serve on its own or with rice. If you wish to include some herbs, tarragon or parsley would suffice.
