Soak the raisins in a little warm water, chop the walnut kernels and hazelnuts, pit the olives, and chop the parsley.<\/p>\n
Put the water for the pasta on the stove and, in the meantime, prepare the sauce. In a pan, heat the oil and gently brown the peeled garlic clove, lightly crushed with the palm of your hand. Add the dried fruit and capers and saut\u00e9 for a couple of minutes. Remove the seeds from the cherry tomatoes, cut them into small pieces and pour them into the pan, add a moderate amount of salt and cook for four or five minutes. Finally, add the pitted olives, a pinch of oregano and the parsley; after allowing the flavors to blend, turn off the heat and cover. <\/p>\n
When the pasta is cooked, drain it al dente, transfer it to a large pan, pour in the sauce and mix well. Serve on individual plates, taking care to collect the sauce with a spoon and distribute it evenly. <\/p>\n
The name of the dish, perhaps not very appealing (Mrs. Angela, who provided the recipe, now prefers to present it as “Christmas spaghetti”), is nevertheless significant: it is a “thrifty” sauce, made with dried fruit left over from Christmas lunch, with aromatic herbs and with Vesuvius piennolo tomatoes preserved for the winter and, therefore, even more flavorful. The walnuts will be those from Sorrento, the hazelnuts from Giffoni, the spaghetti from Gragnano; at one time the other ingredients were also homegrown: pine nuts were extracted from pine cones collected along the coast, the grapes came from family farms and, laid out on racks to dry, were preserved until winter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categoria_ricette":[452],"ristorante":[],"tipo-di-piatto":[467],"class_list":["post-5328","ricette","type-ricette","status-publish","hentry","categoria_ricette-cooking-without-waste","tipo-di-piatto-first-dishes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unabuonaoccasione.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ricette\/5328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unabuonaoccasione.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ricette"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unabuonaoccasione.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ricette"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unabuonaoccasione.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_ricette","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unabuonaoccasione.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_ricette?post=5328"},{"taxonomy":"ristorante","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unabuonaoccasione.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ristorante?post=5328"},{"taxonomy":"tipo-di-piatto","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unabuonaoccasione.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-di-piatto?post=5328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
