Pasta Puttanesca - Makes 4 servings.
1 Tbsp. olive
oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. finely chopped anchovy fillets or anchovy paste
1/4 tsp. dried crushed red pepper
1 can (28 oz.) tomatoes in juice,
12 black olives, pitted and halved (optional)
1/2 Tbsp. capers, drained
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
8 oz. whole-grain pasta
chopped, or crushed tomatoes in purée
In an unheated saucepan large enough to hold the pasta, combine the oil, onion, garlic, anchovies and red pepper. Stir over low-medium heat until golden but not brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, capers, oregano and basil. Stir to blend and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain thoroughly in a colander and add to the sauce. Blend with the sauce, cover and let sit off the heat for a few minutes. Add the parsley, mix in thoroughly and serve.
