For the gourmet cook, a basket with jars of ripe olives, capers, olive oil, anchovies, and a pound of spaghetti along with an Italian cooking video or cookbook, and a recipe card for an authentic Pasta Puttanesca.*



Sugo alla Puttanesca
This is a quick, easy to make summer sauce.

2/3 cup pitted black olives, sliced
4 boned anchovy fillets
2 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 tablespoon rinsed salted capers or rinsed and drained capers in vinegar, minced
Three or four ripe plum tomatoes, finely sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
A pound of spaghetti

Sauté the garlic and the anchovies. When the garlic’s lightly browned, add the olives, capers, and tomatoes. Check seasoning. Simmer the sauce for fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Stir the sauce into the pasta and serve.

Serves 4.
