Ottolenghi'S Pappardelle With Rose Harissa, Black Olives & Capers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced (mounded 2 cups, 220g)
- 3 tablespoons rose harissa (or 50 percent more or less; depending on variety)
- 14 ounces (400g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup (55g) pitted kalamata olives, torn in half
- 2 tablespoons baby capers
- 1/2 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (200ml) water
- 3/4 cup (15g) parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 pound 2 ounces (500g) dried pappardelle pasta (or other wide flat pasta)
- 1/2 cup (120g) Greek-style yogurt
- Put the oil into a large saute pan with a lid and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and fry for 8 minutes, stirring every once in a while, until soft and caramelized. Add the harissa, tomatoes, olives, capers, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue to fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes start to break down. Add the water and stir to mix thoroughly. Once boiling, decrease the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, until the sauce is thick and rich. Stir in 1/2 cup (10g) of the parsley and set aside.
- Meanwhile, fill a large pot with plenty of salted water and place over high heat. Once boiling, add the pappardelle and cook according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain well.
- Return the pasta to the pot along with the harissa sauce and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Mix together well, then divide among 4 shallow bowls. Serve hot, with a spoonful of yogurt and a final sprinkle of parsley.
