Whore Spaghetti

Because it's quick and easy as my French Uncle says! There is more to the history but let's just say it was used in brothals to attract men. So need a man? Here ya go! My version of Puttenesca is not as quick because I love to roast the tomatoes and garlic. It's not traditional but feel free to make it the quick way too...because its delicious....and sultry. *wink wink*

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Chop 4 large tomatoes into big chunks and dice garlic and place in a deep cast iron skillet or oven proof skillet. Drizzle with 1 TBSP and roast in oven for 35-40 minutes. Pull out and place on stovetop over low/med. 

In a seperate pot cook pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside. Spaghetti is a traditional choice, but I've used other kinds too. 

Make a well and add anchovies until they melt away. Mix throughout. I'm not a big anchovie fan so 2 is enough for me. If you like them add 2 more. Rough chop black olives and add to skillet along with capers, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, and parsley. I seem to remember an old Bugs Bunny cartoon where the aroma picks Bugs up by the nose and lures him. So, this is that cartoon...the smell is amazing!! Add reserved pasta and coat with sauce. Scoop into pasta dish and garnish with more parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately!!!
