Here is how you make Quick and Easy Pasta Puttanesca:

1. Heat olive oil in a pan 2. Add anchovy paste and garlic and saute for about one minute (keep this on low so it doesn't burn - do not leave anchovy paste out - adds flavor but will not make your pasta taste fishy - I promise!) 3. Add tomatoes, capers, olives and red pepper flakes and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes 4. Using a fork or big spoon, mash the tomatoes in the pan - you want the sauce thick and chunky 5. Serve over pasta and top with fresh parmesanNOTE: I don't like tomato chunks so I use 2 cans of tomato sauce instead. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NATURALSOAPGIRL.
