Puttanesca Sauce

Dinner in a pinch?  Keep these ingredients handy for a hearty and healthy meal!

Ingredients

2 tbs Olive Oil

1/2 cup white onion, chopped

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 (32 oz) can crushed tomatoes, with juice

15-20 large olives, chopped- if you like the taste of kalamata, use those but black is fine as well

2 tbs capers, drained

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tbs red wine

Pasta

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion and saute until tender.  Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for about 2 minutes.  Throw in the remaining ingredients (can't forget the splash of vino!), then heat until bubbles appear.  Lower heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  While the sauce is simmering, cook pasta according to box instructions.

Serve!
