Description

Dinner has never been easier thanks to this linguine alla puttanesca spice blend from Tutto Calabria. All of the big flavors of the classic Italian dish—capers, black olives, garlic, tomatoes, and basil—are dehydrated in this small but mighty package straight from sunny Calabria. With this convenient blend of traditional flavorings, all you need to add is a packet of pasta and a can of tomatoes for a flavorful feast in a matter of minutes.

Calabria is the home of big, bold flavors. The sun-soaked region lies in the toe of Italy’s boot, near its southernmost end. Flanked by crystal-blue seas, it gets more than 300 days of sweltering Mediterranean sunshine every year. That heat gets converted to serious spice in its famous chiles, which were introduced to the region by Spanish traders in the 16th century. They caught on quickly, and today, every Italian knows that Calabrian chiles are the best in the world.

Founded in 1970 by husband-and-wife pair Antonio Celli and Adele Sirianni, Tutto Calabria began by selling the vegetables from their garden at local fairs. With headquarters in the hillside town of Marcellinara, the Celli family and Tutto Calabria have been sharing the bounty of their home with the world for more than 50 years. With the motto piccanti per passione (“spicy for passion”), they are dedicated to the bold flavors of Calabria in all its forms.

Usage

To serve 6, add half the spice kit to a large shallow pan. Add 1 cup of water and cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated. Once the water has completely evaporated, add about 1/3 cup of olive oil and stir frequently until the spices are very fragrant and lightly toasted, but not burnt. Set the heat to medium-low and add a 14.5-ounce can of tomatoes—either pureed, crushed, or whole and lightly crushed in the pan. Simmer on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat. Top with plenty of parmigiano.
