PUTTANESCA OR KALAMATA KWIK SAUCE
This is a great quick pasta sauce, full of flavor. Ladle onto short pasta with a generous spoonful of Pecorino Romano cheese. This is not intended to be a sauce that you smother the pasta in. If the fresh tomatoes aren't garden fresh and full of flavor I would consider omitting them from the recipe.

Steps:
- Before you start the sauce, set a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil so you can cook your pasta (according to package directions) at the same time you're working on your sauce.
- Set a large sauté pan over low heat. When hot, add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, add the garlic and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is just starting to turn golden (but not brown, this will make it bitter) - 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the liquid has mostly dissipated, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add olives, capers, soy sauce or tamari, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for another minute until the olives are heated through. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
- Drain pasta and add pasta to the pan along with the sauce. Toss well until evenly distributed.
- Scoop into bowls or onto plates, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your puttanesca sauce. Look for ripe tomatoes, briny olives, and anchovies that are packed in salt.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing the garlic, anchovies, and capers, make sure to give them plenty of room to brown. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of brown, and your sauce will be less flavorful.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will also make a big difference in the taste of your sauce. Look for a flavorful, extra-virgin olive oil. You can also use a blend of olive oil and butter, if you prefer.
- Simmer the sauce for a while: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste. Aim to simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have the time.
- Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is done simmering, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of sugar, if you like.
Conclusion:
Puttanesca sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, fish, chicken, or vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give puttanesca sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
