Puttanesca

Directions

Heat the oil in a nonreactive large saucepan over medium heat.

Add the garlic, stir, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the hot oil to turn the garlic pale gold, 5 to 10 minutes.

Stir in the tomatoes, capers, olives, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and black pepper, return to medium-low heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed.

Reduce the heat to very low.

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of well-salted, boiling water until al dente; drain.

Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, sprinkle on the fresh parsley, and serve.
