Pasta Puttanesca

Step 3: Drain & add the pasta

    • cooked pasta
    • cooked sauce

When the pasta timer is up and the noodles have mostly finished cooking (just before al dente), use tongs to transfer the noodles into the pan with the sauce base.

  • You can drain the noodles in a colander, just be sure to reserve some of the pasta water.

Toss and cook the pasta with the sauce base until the noodles are fully cooked through, the tomatoes have broken down, and the sauce coats the noodles.

  • If the sauce becomes too tight before the noodles have cooked through, adjust with a splash of pasta water.
