Italian foods could be thought of as a pallet's delight! Not only are they, mostly, simple to make, but can either be made mild or spicy. One dish that is known, but is not a popular plate at restaurants is Pasta Puttenesca!
Ingredients:
Olives, Capers, Olive Oil, Anchovies (optional), pasta, crushed tomatoes, garlic, and Red Peppers
The first part of making any italian pasta dish is making the pasta.
Whole wheat pasta is not only healthier, but it tastes great, so try this for a change!
It is up to the cook to determine how much pasta they would like to make, this will influence your choice of what size pot to use to bring water to a boil.
While the water is boiling take out a skillet or frying pan that a large amount of ingredients can be place into and sauteed. Add crushed peppers, garlic, and olive oil to the pan (anchovies if desired), when all ingredients are hot add about two teaspoons of capers, twenty (pitted) olives, crushed tomatoes (as many as desired.) Cook sauce on low heat or simmer for about ten minutes, don't let it boil too much because it will burn.
By the time that the sauce is complete the pasta should be done cooking, put the pasta in the sauce and cook for a few minutes together. This will allow for the sauce to absorb the flavor of the sauve.
Add Romano or Parmesean cheese for extra flavor!
Remember, that if you use more pasta you will have to use more tomatoes than if you used less pasta. Also, it is easy to play around with pasta dishes so add more of what you like and less of what you don't!
