pic from foodnetwork.comI love pasta and pizza! One of my favorite pasta dish is pasta puttanesca -- I love it so much that it is sometimes served at least once a week or once every two weeks. It is easy to prepare (minimal ingredients and takes less than 30 mins to cook). We usually have this with garlic bread or galic and cheese pizza.
Here is the recipe (I dont really measure when cooking, dinadaan sa taste at smell lang. just adjust the recipe for personal taste):
olive oil (around 3 tablespoons)
garlic , minced (6 cloves, but I usually use one head -- I love garlic)
anchovies
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
sliced black olives
capers
2 cans diced tomatoes (I usually use hunts diced tomoto flavored with basil) -- i use 1 tin of anchovies per 1 can of diced or stewed tomatoes (i usually do mixed - 1 can diced and 1 can stewed)
milk
spagetti cooked al dente
black pepper, italian seasoning
Soak anchovies in milk for 15-30 mins, then drain.
In a large skillet, heat oil, anchovies, chili flakes and garlic. Saute mixture until anchovies are dissolved and garlic tender.
Add tomatoes, olives, capers and simmer for 10 minutes. Add pepper, italian seasoning to taste and let simmer for additional 5 minutes.
Toss sauce into cooked pasta. Serve with garlic bread / garlic and cheese pizza.
ENJOY!

Alam mo ba ang origin ng puttanesca?
Puttanesca is a derivation of the word "puttana," which in Italian means, "whore." The dish itself originated in Naples (formerly Campania), more precisely on the island of Ischia. History has it that the recipe was invented by "ladies of questionable virtue," hence the name puttanesca. Italian tradition says that the reason for the unusual name is that in the old days, whores would cook this dish and the strong aroma would help to attract men as potential customers.
Ayan, may food for thought pa tayo.
