Ziti with Tomatoes, Olives and Fried Capers

• 份量: 6 servings

配料

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to serve

1/4 cup drained capers, patted dry

3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand

Kosher salt and ground black pepper

1 pound ziti

1/2 cup pitted black olives, roughly chopped

1 ounce Parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese, finely grated (½ cup), plus more to serve

1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil, chopped

步骤

In a large pot over medium, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the capers and cook, stirring often, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, transfer the capers to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the oil in the pot.

Return the pot to medium and add the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the pepper flakes, tomatoes with juices and ½ teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Add 3 cups water and the pasta; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce to medium, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.

Off heat, stir in the olives and Parmesan. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the basil and stir vigorously, then taste and season with salt and black pepper. Serve sprinkled with the fried capers and additional cheese, as well as drizzled with additional oil.
