Pasta alla Putanesca

This is a very popular Italian dish and of course I love Italian food so I think it was about the time to post this recipe. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use as much or as little of any ingredient, its all up to. Just a quick tip is that you shouldn't boil the spaghetti very much, you should leave them as Italians call it : aldente. That's because when you pour them into the hot sauce they will have a second chance to be cooked so you don't want them more over-cooked. 

Kjo eshte nje recete teper e njohur italiane dhe sigurisht mua me pelqen tej mase ushqimi italian dhe mendoj se ishte kohe qe une ta postoja kete recete. E bukura e kesaj recete eshte se ju mund te perdorni sa te deshironi masen e cdo perberesi, eshte e gjitha ne doren tuaj. Vetem nje keshille e shpejte eshte qe te mos i zieni shume makaronat, duke ti lini sic italianet e quajne : aldente. Kjo sepse kur i shtieni makaronat ne salcen e nxehte ato do te kene nje mundesi te dyte te gatuhen prandaj nuk duhet ti gatuani ato me shume sec duhet.

Ne nje tigan shto vajin e ullirit nga ullinjte ose vaj ulliri dhe leme hudhrat sa te zverdhen dhe me pas i heqim

Add the anchovies and then with a fork or a wooden spoon mash them, this is really important because anchovies themselves are really salty and this step will provide the homogeneous distribution of taste in the sauce we're preparing

Shtojme acuget te cilat me pas I shtypim me nje pirun apo luge druri dhe kjo eshte e rendesishme pasi vete acuget jane shume te kripura dhe kjo gje mundeson shperndarjen e shijes ne menyre te njejtrajshme ne salsen qe do te pergatisim

Add the capers and stir

Shtojme capperin dhe perziejme 

Mean while in a pot filled with water and salt which we've let come to a simmer add the spaghetti and we boil them 

Nderkohe ne nje tenxhere me uje te bollshem dhe me kripe te cilen e kemi lene te kaloje ne vlim shtojme makaronat dhe i ziejme 

In the sauce skillet add the tomatoes or the tomatoes sauce and stir, we let it simmer until the water from tomatoes has drain

Ne tiganin e salses shtojme domatet ose salsen e domateve dhe e perziejme dhe e leme te vloje derisa te jete shteruar uji i domateve

Check the spaghetti meanwhile and give them a stir
Kontrollo makaronat nderkohe dhe perzieji

Once the sauce has reached the desired thickness and color add the olives and tabasco according to preferences, then mix

Sapo salca ka arritur trashesine dhe ngjyren e deshiruar shtojme ullinjte dhe tabaskon sipas preferences, me pas perziejme

Pour the boiled spaghetti into the sauce skillet, add the parsley and mix in order to distribute homogeneously sauce into spaghetti 

Hedhim makaronat e ziera ne tiganin e salces, shto majdanozin dhe e perziejme ne menyre qe te salca te shperndahet ne menyre homogjene tek makaronat 

 Bon Appetit
