16 oz Penne pasta (or ziti or
-mostaccioli) 1/4 c Parmesan; grated
MARINARA BASE:
4 md Garlic cloves; peeled &
-coarsely chopped 1 lg Basil leaf, fresh; coarsely
-chopped 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper, black
1/4 c ;Water, cold
16 oz Tomato, canned crushed
PUTTANESCA SAUCE:
1/2 c Olive oil
8 Flat anchovy fillets, rinsed
-& drained 3 md Garlic clove; peeled &
-minced 2 tb Parsley; finely chopped
1 tb Red pepper; crushed
1/4 c Capers; rinsed, drained
24 Kalamata olive, pitted
To prepare the marinara base: Combine the garlic and basil in a food processor or blender and chop finely. Add the salt, black pepper and water; process 30 seconds. Stir into the tomatoes and set aside. To prepare the puttanesca sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the anchovies and cook, mashing with the back of a spoon, until disintegrated. Add the garlic, parsley and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook 1 minute. Add the capers and olives; cook seconds. Stir in the marinara base and simmer 5 minutes. Keep warm. Cook the pasta in lots of boiling water according to package directions. Drain and put back into the hot pan. Add the sauce and Parmesan. Stir well and transfer to a heated bowl for serving. Note: The original recipe called for 2 Tbsp salt and 3 Tbsp crushed red pepper flakes. Times testers felt that the reduced amounts were adequate. [Moderator's Note: Maybe for the salt....] Obmodification: I plan to reduce the olive oil to 1/4 cup next time, which is probably more than adequate and cuts down a bit on the fat. This is from the new Seattle Times column, By Request, which helps readers get recipes for favorite dishes they have enjoyed at restau- rants, and to locate recipes they have heard about or lost. As a puttanesca connoisseur, I've found that Salvatore Ristorante Italiano in Seattle makes the *best* puttanesca I've had at any restaurant in the area. The following has been shared by the owner, Salvatore Anania. Hope you enjoy it as much as I. From: Sandra Vigil, vigil@esca.com

Classic Pasta Puttanesca
This incredibly flavorful classic Italian puttanesca sauce recipe has tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, and anchovies tossed in herbs and pasta.
Puttanesca is a zesty sauce comprised of tomatoes, onions, capers, olives, anchovies, and garlic, and is commonly served with pasta. On a restaurant menu, it will often say alla puttanesca, which means with the sauce. This sauce has a couple of minor variations, including herbs and chiles. Regardless, you can make this pasta work to your liking.
There are a couple of stories on where this sauce came from, starting with its origin in brothels, specifically in the Spanish quarters in Naples where the puttanas, translated to prostitutes, would feed themselves and clients.
Another story claims that puttana stems from the Latin word for putida, which means stinking. This would make sense considering the strong aromas from the ingredients in the pasta.
The last claim states that a chef in the famous Ischia restaurant in Italy had nothing much left to serve some hungry customers. He just threw together whatever ingredients he had, translating from “puttanata qualsiasi,” which means prepared as it comes. Make it simple with no frills. It’s really just a simple Spaghetti Sauce.

Classic Pasta Puttanesca Recipe
Oil cured black olives add an amazing flavor to this pasta puttanesca recipe. I used long fusilli, but any substantial pasta goes well with this anchovy, caper, garlic, and olive tomato-based sauce. This classic Italian pasta recipe has the best flavor from umami rich anchovies, so unless you really dislike them, try to use at least a few for an authentic puttanesca taste. I hope you enjoy it!

INGREDIENTS:
▪1 pound pasta
▪1 (28) ounce can plum tomatoes
- crushed or blender pulsed
▪3 ounces tomato paste
▪6 garlic cloves - sliced
▪5 anchovy fillets
▪1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
▪1/4 cup fresh parsley - minced
▪3/4 cup oil-cured black olives - rinsed to remove salt
▪1/2 cup green olives
▪2 tablespoons capers - rinsed to remove salt
▪1/4 cup olive oil
▪1/4 extra virgin olive oil - finish
▪salt/pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a 1/4 cup of olive oil saute the garlic and minced anchovies over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or until the anchovies dissolve and the garlic turns golden. Add in the chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.
2. Next, add in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently.
3. Add in the plum tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
4. Add in the chopped olives and capers.
5. Taste test the sauce and adjust salt and pepper if required. Because of the saltiness of the ingredients, little extra salt will be needed.
6. Remove half the sauce from the pan. Add in a ladle of pasta water. Add in the al dente pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes to thoroughly coat pasta with the sauce. If more sauce or pasta water is needed add some back into the pan. Serve remaining sauce on the table or for bread dipping.
7. Right before serving drizzle a bit of high-quality extra virgin olive oil onto each plate. Enjoy!
