Tasty Pasta alla puttanesca
This puttanesca pasta recipe is one of my favorites not only for its incomparable flavor, but also for its quick preparation. The combination of tomatoes, olives, capers, and garlic create a dish full of flavor and textures. Ideal for lovers of Mediterranean food and for those nights when you are looking to prepare something delicious but don't have much time.

Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. A trick is to add salt and a dash of oil to the cooking water to give it flavor and prevent the pasta from sticking.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until golden brown, but be careful not to burn it - burnt garlic can sour your whole sauce.
Add the chopped tomatoes with their juice, capers, olives and chili flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly.
Once the pasta is ready, drain it and add it directly to the sauce. This is a good time to adjust the salt and pepper in the sauce, remember it is always best to add a little at a time.
Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes more to allow the pasta to absorb all the flavors of the sauce.
To serve, garnish with some chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. A personal touch that I like to add is a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese, although it is not traditional in the original recipe.
