Place 2 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan, add the sliced onion and fry over a medium heat until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic, chilli and anchovies and fry for 1 minute.

Slow-cooked chicken puttanesca

olive oil

onion, sliced

garlic cloves, crushed

½ tsp chilli flakes

oregano

x 400 grams tins chopped tomatoes

pitted black olives

anchovy fillets, finely chopped

capers,

skin-on, bone-in free-range chicken thighs

parsley,

potatoes

Heat the oven to 150°C fan/gas 3½. To make the puttanesca sauce, heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a hob-safe casserole (with a lid). Add the onion and a pinch of salt, then fry over a medium heat for 10 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic, chilli flakes and oregano, then fry for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, olives, anchovies and capers. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, then season. Keep warm.

Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Season the chicken skin with salt and fry skin-side down for 5-7 minutes over a medium-high heat or until golden brown and crisp. Nestle the chicken skin-side up into the puttanesca sauce in the casserole. Put the lid on or cover tightly with foil, cook in the oven for 1 hour, then remove the lid/foil and cook for 15 minutes to reduce the sauce. Scatter with chopped parsley and serve with creamy mashed potatoes or cheesy polenta.

Loaded with umami, this one pot pasta puttanesca blends the aromatic flavors of capers, kalamata olives and anchovies into a full bodied tomato based sauce. It cooks with the spaghetti all in one pot, making it a super easy meal with very little cleanup.

Chicken Puttanesca

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Eggplant Puttanesca Sauce- a rich, robust vegan dinner recipe that is low in carbs, keto and gluten free! Easy and simple.

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Eggplant Puttanesca

lb Spaghetti Squash-

eggplant

red onion- diced

garlic- rough chopped

red bell pepper- diced

dry Italian herbs

red chili flakes,

red wine

slice olives

Italian parsley, grated Romano or Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle olive oil

Cut squash in half widthwise, place open side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30- 40 minutes (depending on size) or until knife tender. Turn on their sides, allowing steam to escape, continue roasting 5-10 minutes, so they dry out a bit.

While the squash is roasting make the Eggplant Puttanesca sauce.

In a large heavy bottom skillet or dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons oil over med-high heat. Add diced onion and eggplant, and saute, stirring often for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and red bell pepper, turn heat down to medium and continue cooking until eggplant is tender, about 10-12 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add crushed tomatoes, a generous splash of wine, chili flakes, salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and simmer on low heat 5-10 more minutes. Add capers and olives.

Taste, adjust salt, spice level and add more capers or olives to taste. Sometimes I&#8217;ll add a little splash of the caper or olive brine, to bump up the flavor.

When spaghetti squash is tender, scoop the seeds out- then scoop out spaghetti squash strands into a bowl, and fluff and toss well with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

 Divide among bowls and top with the eggplant puttanesca. Sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley and grated cheese (optional)  or drizzle olive oil.

Alternatively, you can serve this right out of the spaghetti squash shell ( making sure to season the squash, mixing with a fork before topping with the putttanesca.

Great recipe!
I added some grated carrot( to up the veggies), about 1/8 cup of chocolate chips( to counter the acid)and some Italian strained tomatoes (for a more saucey consistency). Very yummy and easy. Thank you!

Delicious! Loved the olives and capers. Thanks for the tip on draining the squash, it does have a lot liquid. This recipe is a keeper

Delicious! I made a 3x recipe for a dinner party and it was a huge hit. I have leftovers- can a container be frozen?

Delicious! Served with veggie sausage for added protein. Definitely will double the olives next time. Curious where 22.8 g of fat came from in your nutrition facts? Not much if any fat in this recipe unless you put tons of cheese… thanks!

I used your updated method for roasting spaghetti squash with this and subbed sriracha for chili flakes (hey... it's what I had on hand), and oh man it is so good. We had this with some breaded baked shrimp last night and it was excellent! 

You were right about leftovers, too! I'm having them for lunch right now and had to take a moment to thank you for this recipe. Simply delicious!

Most Excellent!  Perfect with the spaghetti squash.

I love this so much … the flavors of the puttanesca stay bright, I sometimes have an issue with eggplant dishes becoming muddled but that is not the case here.
Also cutting the spaghetti squash through the middle instead of lengthwise?  Game changer!
I used basil instead of parsley because I had it, that’s the only change that I made.

This was delicious and also economical! I got eggplant in the clearance section...2 for .99! I had some leftover pizza, and this sauce was a perfect match with the edge crusts, which I might have otherwise thrown away. The combo tasted intentional, even though I was just scavenging in my fridge for a quick lunch.

Not fans of this recipe. The flavor was an odd combination that just didn’t cut it for us. I thought we’d love it since puttanesca is a favorite of ours. This was our first run with spaghetti squash. Not sure what all the fuss is about. More trouble than it’s worth to prepare for minimal flavor unlike other squashed we love. Oh well, into the trash with the leftovers.

Delicious, and very easy to make-great use of our fall CSA veggies!

Once the spaghetti is cooked, lift the spaghetti from the water to the sauce with a spaghetti spoon (this helps emulsify the sauce) and toss, stir add some chopped&nbsp; parsley. Serve immediately.

This is a really good pasta recipe! So light and easy, great to make after a long day at work. I halved the recipe for 2 portions and it worked out well. Unfortunately, I do not like olives so I omitted them but it still tasted great.

OMG! Those olives are calling my name! This dish looks fantastic! And I'm still laughing about the origin of puttanesca! I never knew that so thanks for sharing! :)

This is one of my favourite pasta recipes! The anchovies add an umami layer to the flavours -Yummy!

Perfect for a weeknight - thanks for the recipe, and for the info on the history of the sauce!

Such a classic!  It really looks so tempting.

I love a good puttanesca sauce. So simple, but so fresh and delicious. Great recipe!
