One of my favorite pasta sauce's is Puttanesca sauce. I love the combination of olives, capers, anchovies and garlic to the tomatoe sauce. I always keep these ingredients in my pantry and a great way to have variety when you don't know what to make. In this sauce, I added tuna and it was fantastic. This is simple, quick and a classic!

- 1 can chopped plum tomotoes (16 oz)
- 4 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 4 anchovy filets, chopped

- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup cured black olives, sliced
- 2 tbsp capers, soaked and drained
- 2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes (of course i add a little more to my plate!)
- pinch of dry oregano
- salt to taste

Directions
- Using a large pot, cook the pasta according to the pasta instructions until it is al dente.
