Sesame Chicken
Pasta Puttanesca
| By : |
I started making this flavorful Neapolitan dish because of
Lemony Snicket. One of my kids requested it after reading
that the Baudelaire children prepared it in one of the books
in A Series of Unfortunate Events. It couldn’t be simpler in
the Instant Pot®— just add the ingredients and come back
to a pasta dinner! This recipe is vegan but see the tip for
how to add in anchovies, which are traditional. Garnish with
shredded cheese or chopped fresh basil, if you like.

sweetness of a typical tomato-based sauce.

Like any recipe the ingredients tell the tale. In this one it all counts. Use good tomato or pasta sauce, not the cheap stuff. Big chunks of roma tomatoes would certainly help. Get big, fresh deli kalmata olives, not the canned or jarred ones off the shelf. Add some pitted green olives also.
Do add some anchovies… it isn’t real puttanesca without them. And buy the best ingredients you can, including best quality pasta (sorry, Catelli, you just aren’t up to snuff in an instant pot).
Very easy to throw together. Some of it stuck to the bottom of the pan. It tasted good.
Quick, easy and delicious! I used a bit more red pepper flakes and 2 cans of anchovies
Made this last night and it was really easy. I used one can of anchovies and used 2 15 oz cans of san marzano cherry tomatoes. I think one can of sauce and one can of the tomatoes would have worked better. I also used pappardelle pasta which didn’t work out so great, I had to cook it longer than 5 minutes to soften the pasta. I will try with something like penne next time. My only issue with this was it didn’t get the same texture as when I cook it on the stovetop, but this is definitely a convenient and time saving recipe for when you need puttanesca!
I always get a burn notice, and have to finish stove top, Any thoughts?
The recipe says the cook time is 15 minutes, yet the cooking instructions says 5 minutes. Which is it?
I didn’t have pasta sauce on hand so I used this instead:
–1 T double strength tomato paste, 1 T each dried rosemary and oregano stirred in with the anchovies, onion and garlic
— I deglazed the bottom of the instant pot with a half a cup of chicken stock
–Finally, I added 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes and the rest of the can of chicken stock before sealing and pressure cooking on high for 5 minutes.
It worked great!
It was nice to find such a flavorful recipe that didn’t call for wine (not safe for kiddos).

I was having problem with the burn notice too. I did two batches of boiled eggs in a clean instant pot. That seemed to do the trick. I no longer get the burn notice.
Was pretty good. Used a combination of fresh pasta and dried. Worked out well. Most of added water absorbed by pasta. Reduced cook time to three minutes with a 5 minute naturall release before a quick releas of remaining preasure.
