    16 Italian olives

    Recipe



    To prepare the sauce, brown the garlic in a skillet with olive oil. Add the anchovies, capers and olives. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the basil, parsley, oregano, black pepper and water. Simmer for 5 minutes over a low flame.

    To cook the pasta, bring the salted water to a boil, then drop in the linguini. Cook for 6 minutes, al dente. Drain in a colander. Transfer to a platter. Pour the sauce over the linguini, toss and serve immediately. Sprinkle with crushed hot pepper to taste.

    Note: This recipe for Puttanesca Sauce can be made into Provenzale Sauce by substituting 1 or 2 cups of chopped tomatoes for the cup of water. The new dish is called Pasta alla Provenzale.
