Puttanesca Sauce repost of recipe Deanna this contains capers

[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

boil, stir and remove from stove.

Toss with pasta and serve.
