Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, 2 sliced, 1 minced
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup green or black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped 2 ounces
Salt
freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound spaghetti, preferably a good whole-wheat brand
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the sliced garlic over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan or skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic turns golden, about two minutes. Do not let it take on any more color than this. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon and discard, then add the bread crumbs to the pan. Turn the heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until the bread crumbs are crisp. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat, and add the remaining olive oil, the red pepper flakes and the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic smells fragrant, and add the tomatoes, capers and olives. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the spaghetti. Cook al dente, following the cooking recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the suggested time. Drain, and toss with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the bread crumbs and parsley on top, toss again briefly and serve, passing the Parmesan at the table.

PASTA WITH TOMATOES, BLACK OLIVES AND CAPERS



Pasta With Tomatoes, Black Olives and Capers image

This recipe is much like a puttanesca sauce but without the anchovies. It can be salty so be sure to rinse the olives and capers, especially if you can't find low-salt tomatoes. It's from a cookbook called "Pasta Light" which I've had for 15 years. I wanted to post it here to save it. My picky husband will eat this straight from the pan, before it even goes onto the pasta. Best served with "strand" pasta like spaghetti or linguine, rather than shapes. The recipe doubles well - I often double and freeze half.
