The Pasta of Prostitutes - Second New Recipe

This weekend was spent watching Bowl Games and eating a lot of bar food.  Plus, I spent yesterday morning throwing a shortening-laced dough into a deep fryer, so I really wanted something a little more healthy tonight. 

My, those are some lovely red pumps this pasta is wearing
I found this recipe for pasta puttanesca, which translates into "pasta, prostitute style."  I made a few modifications.  I added more garlic, a small onion and a half green pepper I had left.

I'll definitely make this one again.  The recipe specifically calls for tomatoes without added salt, and that's a really good idea.  The anchovy paste, olives and capers add a lot of salt, and the recipe would be a salt lick with regular tomatoes.  Enjoy!
