Ingredients
- 340 grams brown rice pasta (or substitute your preferred pasta)
- 4 cups strained tomatoes (or substitute crushed tomatoes)
- 3/4 cup black olives (pitted and cut in quarters)
- 1/4 cup capers (drained)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons fresh chopped garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- Optional garnish: fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Add the extra virgin olive oil and garlic to a large pot on the stove and sauté on low heat for approximately one minute to cook the garlic.
- Add the strained tomatoes, oregano, and dried chilli flakes, then simmer on low heat, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
- Add the black olives and capers and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- While the strained tomato mixture is simmering, cook the spaghetti in a separate pot according to the instructions on the package.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the pot with the sauce, then simmer for one minute so the pasta absorbs some of the sauce.
- Garnish with plenty of fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot.
- Makes 6 portions of vegan puttanesca pasta.
Notes
- Use the largest olives you can find for this recipe.
- Be sure to garnish with plenty of chopped parsley because it adds an important layer of fresh flavour to this dish.
