1/2 c chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 t. red pepper flakes
1/2 c. sliced black olives
2 T. capers, rinsed and chopped
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
Saute onions and garlic for 30-40 seconds. Stir in the rest of ingredients. Simmer until slightly reduced. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. I didn't add any salt, but that is just me. Now I know that the sauce usually calls for anchovies but I never have them on hand and this is quite tasty without. I tossed the sauce with whole wheat spaghetti and steamed zucchini on the side.
The whole dish: 2 ounces uncooked whole wheat spaghetti, cooked
1/2 c. Puttanesca suace
Zucchini, steamed
