Puttanesca Sauce (Sugo alla Puttanesca) recipe anyone with jarred capers left

[Guest guest]

I finally found one of my favorite recipes. I found this on the Internet

one day and after reading the paragraph I had to try it. It's delicious. I've

only seen this sauce with meat in it so here's the posted vegetarian version.

 

Here's the little story on the name.

 

Puttana or Lady of the Evening, could prepare this dish in the time it took

her to work with a client, and enjoy it while recovering from her exertions.

 

Puttanesca Sauce (Sugo alla Puttanesca)

 

2/3 cup black olives, sliced

1/2 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 tblspns. butter or olive oil

2 tblspns. rinsed capers

4 ripe Roma tomatoes, finely sliced in rounds

salt & pepper & oregano to taste

1 lb. of spaghetti, al dente and drained

1/2 small can tomato sauce

Parmesan cheese (optional)

 

Saute onion and garlic in the butter or olive oil for a few minutes. Add

capers, olives and tomatoes and heat through for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 can

tomato sauce, salt, pepper and oregano, bring to a boil, stir and remove from

stove.

Toss with pasta and serve.

Parmesan cheese is optional.

Now isn't that quick?
