Pasta Puttanesca

Place a large pan of water over a high heat. Add salt and bring to a boil.

When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook per instructions.

In a large deep sided frying pan add the olive oil and heat over a medium heat.

When hot, add the chopped onion and fry until soft and translucent. Will take about 5 minutes.

Add the anchovies to the pan with a little of the olive oil from the anchovy tin. (Its gorgeous).

Also add the chopped garlic cloves and fry for about another minute. (don't burn the garlic)

Add the tomato puree/paste and stir in. Cook for a couple of minutes.

Add the tomatoes, chili flakes, olives, capers and oregano.

Raise the heat to bring the sauce to a simmer and then reduce to a lower heat so it still maintains a simmer.

Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes.

The pasta should be cooked by now so drain the pasta in a sieve over a mug to catch some of the water.

Add the pasta to the sauce and mix thoroughly whilst still heating.

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish.

Serve immediately on warmed dishes/plates
