Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, carefully add the capers and cook for 1-2 min until they have puffed up a little, then transfer them to kitchen paper with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the pan and oil for later – these are your crispy capers
2
Peel and finely dice the red onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
3
Boil a kettle
Return the pan with the oil to a medium heat
Once hot, add the diced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-6 min or until softened
4
Add the linguine to a pot of boiled water with a large pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Cook the linguine for 8-10 min or until it's cooked with a slight bite
Once done, drain the linguine, reserving 300ml [600ml] of the starchy pasta water
5
Once the onion has softened, add the chopped garlic, chilli flakes (Can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and tomato paste and cook for 1 min
Add the chopped tomatoes, babyspinach and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 6-7 min or until a thick pasta sauce remains
6
Meanwhile, chop the basil finely, including the stalks
Grate the cheddar cheese
Peel the skin from the smoked mackerel and discard, then break it into rough, bite-sized pieces
7
Add the smoked mackerel, blackolives, drained linguine and most of the chopped basil to the pan
Add a few splashes of starchy pasta water and mix well until all of the linguine is coated in the sauce – this is your spicy mackerel puttanesca
