How about "Pasta"?



I like all types of pasta, but I could not talk about all in one post, I also like word games so I'll start by Pttanesca Pasta.



Pasta Puttanesca roughly translates as “pasta in the style of a whore” – no doubt an enterprising whore who’s a little salty, a little spicy, and has plenty of bite to her.
Legend has it “ladies of the night” would lure customers into houses of ill repute with the enticing aroma of this sauce simmering away.

Quick, easy, cheap, delicious…



The dish is full of salt and brine – olives, capers, anchovies – flavors typical of Southern Italian cuisine.



I’ve thrown in some fresh touches to this Puttanesca, but in a pinch you could omit the eggplant, onion, garlic, or fresh herbs, and the essence of the dish would remain intact.

In a little time, we had a bowl full of delicious pasta to dig into, full of flavors. that was a brilliant combination in the night.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

24 ounces tomato sauce
1 pound spaghetti or angel hair pasta
5 ounces Italian tuna, packed in olive oil
2 ounces anchovies, packed in olive oil
1 eggplant, diced (and peeled if you prefer)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olives (green or Kalamata), roughly chopped
1 teaspoon capers
1 tablespoon sugar
Red pepper flakes to taste
A handful of fresh oregano, parsley, or chives (finely chopped)
Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta.
Over medium heat, pour the olive oil from the tuna and anchovies into a large saucepan. Add the onion and sautee until translucent. Add the eggplant and garlic; sautee until the eggplant is softened and the onions begin to caramelize.
Add the anchovies and stir until they have melted down. Add the tuna, breaking it into small chunks, and sautee for another minute or so.
Add the tomato sauce, olives, capers, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer. Serve over pasta and garnish with fresh herbs.

In summary, Whore and pasta: customer satisfaction, guaranteed.
