I have several recipes for this, but this is the simplest and has a lot of flavor. I believe it is from Sheila Lukins of Silver Palate Cookbooks.
Pasta Puttanesca
2 Tablespoon olive oil 1 medium size onion, halved lenghtwise and slivered 1 Tablespoon minced garlic 1 can (28 0z) plum tomatoes, chopped, with the juice 1 Tablespoon tomato paste 1 can (2 0z) anchovies, drained and chopped 1/3 cup pitted and quartered kalamata olives 1/4 cup drained capers 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 12 ounces dried penne pasta (I think fusilli works well, also) Grated parmeson cheese
1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Stir in the remaining ingredients except for the pasta and cheese. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. 3. Just before serving, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain well. 4. Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, topped with the sauce. Pass the Parmeson cheese. Serves 4
