Pasta Puttanesca

Not only is it fun to say, it taste delish! I've never cooked with anchovies before, it's super fragrant and pretty yummy. The story is that this dish was invented in a brothel, it's aroma would bring all the men in! I can see why...It's like spaghetti but on a totally new level. It's got a lot of flavor, a bit of tang and a certain warmth/comfort to it.


Ingredients:

1/4 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

6 cloves Garlic, smashed

1 (2 oz) can Anchovy Fillets, chopped

1 (28-oz) Diced Tomatoes

1/2 cup Kalamata Olives, pitted

1/4 cup Capers

1 tsp. crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Salt

1 lb Spaghetti
