Pasta alla Puttanesca is said to have originated with the streetwalkers in ancient Naples, when they needed a quick hot meal. That is why it is called puttanesca. This spicy and tasty sauce is one of our favorites.
Saute the garlic in the oil; add the anchovies.
As soon as the anchovies start to dissolve in the oil, add the tomatoes with their juice, the olives, pimento, basil, capers, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Simmer no longer than 18 minutes. Toss with spaghetti and serve.
