Pasta Puttanesca

Directions

2. As soon as you put water on to boil, start sauce. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring 2 minutes, being careful not to burn. Add onion, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, and oregano and stir, cooking, for 5 minutes. Add anchovies and anchovy oil, raise heat to medium high, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring and mashing up anchovies.
3. Add tomatoes, using your hands to crush them up a bit, and add all the juice. Add bay leaf and red pepper flakes and simmer 5 minutes. Add olives and capers and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
4. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. Toss with warm puttanesca sauce and serve.
