RED PEPPER PENNE WITH CHERRY TOMATO PUTTANESCA
Puttanesca sauce, or "streetwalkers' sauce," is a favorite in our house, but the women that made this sauce famous (or infamous) probably didn't have to walk too many streets to lure in their customers. They simply put the ingredients for this sauce in clay pots and let the sauce bake in the windows of their houses all day before tossing the tomato and anchovies with pasta. No one knows if the men came in for the ladies or the sauce--my bet is they had hopes of getting truly lucky and enjoying both. Regardless of its history, you do feel naughty when you eat this spicy, salty, wildly delicious concoction.

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE, TOMATO, RED PEPPER IN CREAM SAUCE
This is something I came up with when I didn't allow myself enough time to prepare dinner. The meat and veggies were supposed to be a filling for a stromboli, then I ended up using it for this pasta dish instead. It turned out to be a delicious dinner treat! You can change to ground beef, other peppers, pasta or a different cheese.
