Pasta Puttanesca

Serves 6

Ingredients

Directions

In a medium saucepan or large skillet over medium heat, sauté onions in oil until translucent (about 4 minutes). Add garlic and cook 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, olives, hot-pepper flakes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes. In a large saucepan, bring 4 quarts water to a boil. Cook pasta until tender, but slightly resistant to the bite (al dente; about 12 minutes or according to package instructions). Drain thoroughly and toss with sauce. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Asiago or Parmesan cheese (if desired).
