PASTA PUTTANESCA
There are almost as many explanations for the origins of pasta puttanesca as there are ways to make it. Ostensibly a sauce invented and made by prostitutes, it was designed to lure customers with its powerful aroma. Whatever the origin, no better cold-weather pasta sauce has come down to us. Puttanesca can be made completely with ingredients from the larder; in fact, it can be prepared entirely without ingredients that require refrigeration, though a bit of a fresh herb at the end does help. The basis is a garlicky tomato sauce; canned tomatoes are preferable here. This is brought to a high level of flavor by the addition of anchovies, capers and olives. Red pepper flakes make things even better. The whole process is ridiculously easy.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- As the water heats, pour the olive oil into a cold skillet and stir in the garlic. Turn heat to medium-low and cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant and begins to turn a golden color, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, oregano, and anchovies. Cook until anchovies begin to break down, about 2 minutes.
- Pour tomatoes into skillet, turn heat to medium-high, and bring sauce to a simmer. Use the back of a spoon to break down tomatoes as they cook. Simmer until sauce is reduced and combined, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the boiling water. Drain when still very firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
- Stir the olives and capers into the sauce; add pasta and toss to combine.
- Toss pasta in sauce until pasta is cooked through and well coated with sauce, about 1 minute. If sauce becomes too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta water to thin.

Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead.
- Use good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this sauce. It has a rich flavor that will enhance the other ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Simmer the sauce: Once the vegetables are cooked, simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Season to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Puttanesca sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, but can also be used as a topping for pizza or chicken. The addition of broccoli adds a healthy and flavorful twist to the classic recipe. This sauce is sure to please everyone at your table!
