Rigatoni Puttanesca

The beauty of this spicy pasta sauce is that it can be made with ingredients that can be kept on hand in the cupboard.

Ingredients

* 12 oz rigatoni, uncooked
* 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 can (425g) artichoke hearts, 15 ounces, drained
* 1 tsp oregano
* 2 cups canned tomatoes, one 28-ounce can
* 2 Tbs capers, (or more)
* 1/2 cup dry red wine
* 1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
* 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
* 1/2 cup parsley, chopped, optional

Directions

  1. * Cook rigatoni in boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender.
  2. * Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook until the onion is tender. Add oregano and artichoke hearts and sir for one minute. Add tomatoes, capers and red wine and stir to break up the tomatoes into large pieces. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Add olives and red pepper flakes. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes more.
  3. * Drain pasta and place in a serving bowl. Top with Puttanesca sauce and parsley if desired.
