Method

  • step 1

    Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the onion, garlic and chilli for 3-4 mins to soften. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min, then add the pilchards with their sauce. Cook, breaking up the fish with a wooden spoon, then add the olives and continue to cook for a few more mins.

  • step 2

    Drain the pasta and add to the pan with 2-3 tbsp of the cooking water. Toss everything together well, then divide between plates and serve, scattered with Parmesan.

This was extremely easy to make and very tasty. I would definitely make this again.

another horror from the fake italian food show! Puttanesca sauce is very far from this. And then: your craze of putting onions and garlic everywhere! Oh my God! Please don't call this italian!

Edible, but only just. I used 2 chillis, but the sauce still tasted bland and a bit sickly. The pilchards went mushy very quickly, so there wasn't a lot of texture to the dish. I definitely won't be making this again.

Surprised myself with how delicious this was and the kids liked it too which is great, as I usually have all the ingredients in so a fab stand by option. I took the bones out of the pilchards first and used black olives from at tub as we get through a couple of large tubs a week so always have them…

This is delicious. I used 3 chillies, 4 cloves of garlic and black olives from a jar. Will be making this again soon.
