Pasta alla Pizzaiola
PASTA ALLA PIZZAIOLA “Pasta a la pizzaiolo”
(approx. 8 servings)
In a sauce pan:
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
Warm a little bit, then add:
- 4 cans of “diced tomatoes in tomato juice”
- 1 teaspoon of ground salt
- 1 1/2 cup of capers
- 1 1/2 cup of black olives (diced)
Cook at medium heat until a little more than half the liquid is gone.
In the meantime, boil water… add 2 teaspoons of ground salt and add pasta (2 bags of short pasta, approx. 1 kg)
Cook the pasta 1 minute less the recommended cooking time (it has to be very firm). When the pasta is ready, strain it and put it in a big baking pan. Add the sauce, some oregano and mix.
Pre-heat the oven (medium heat). Put slices of mozzarella all over the pasta and bake it for a few minutes, just the time to have the mozzarella melt. Serve hot
