Pasta Puttanesca


Description:
Found this recipe which is almost like the way I do it. I've never tried using parsley, oregano, arugula, & red pepper in my version but it might be worth trying it soon.


Ingredients:


* 16 ounce(s) pasta, spaghetti, whole wheat, or whole-wheat vermicelli or angel hair
* 2 tablespoon oil, olive, extra virgin
* 4 clove(s) garlic, minced
* 1/2 cup(s) parsley, flat-leaf, chopped
* 1/2 cup(s) olives, Spanish, drained and chopped
* 1/4 cup(s) capers, drained
* 2 teaspoon anchovy paste
* 2 teaspoon oregano, dried
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper, red flakes
* 29 ounce(s) tomatoes, diced, no salt added, with juice (2 cans)
* 1 1/2 cup(s) lettuce, arugula, chopped
* 1/4 cup(s) cheese, Parmesan, freshly grated


Directions:
Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the parsley, olives, capers, anchovy paste, oregano, and red pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the arugula and simmer for another minute, just until the greens wilt slightly.

When the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the skillet, tossing it with the sauce to combine. Divide between 6 plates, sprinkle with the Parmesan, and serve.
