his favourite

This is J's favourite pasta dish. It's very quick and easy to prepare. If you like salty and tangy, then you should give this a try.


Puttanesca Sauce for Garlic Lovers

Ingredients:
1 cup pitted halved ripe olives
1/2 cup dried tomatoes, cut into strips
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (3-1/2 oz) jar capers, drained
8 garlic cloves, chopped
6 anchovy fillets, mashed
3 cups quarted plum tomatoes
1/4 cup pesto sauce
1 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper

Instructions:
- Combine the first six ingredients in a large saucepan; heat through - stirring to ensure it doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan.

- Add the tomato, pesto, and red peppers; bring to a boil again.

- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes; stirring occasionally.

- Serve over hot pasta.
