Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers

 

Recipe By :The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook, Jack Bishop

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Complete Italian Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 medium cloves garlic -- mined

1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes -- or to taste

1 28 oz can whole tomatoes -- drained & chopped

15 large black and/or green olives -- pitted & chopped (about 1/2

cup)

1 tablespoon drained capers -- rinsed

salt

1 pound spaghetti

 

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot for cooking the pasta.

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and hot pepper flakes and sauté

over medium heat until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes.

 

Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the

tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Taste and add salt if

needed.

 

When the water comes to a boil, add salt to taste and the spaghetti. Cook until

al dente and then drain.

 

Toss the spaghetti with the tomato sauce and mix well. Divide among individual

bowls and serve immediately.

NOTES : Author's Note: This recipe is my favorite version of the famed

" spaghetti alla puttanesca " , or " whore's pasta " . The spicy, strong flavors in

the sauce have made it a classic. We often have it when there's nothing for

dinner in the refrigerator.
