PASTA PUTTANESCA
There are almost as many explanations for the origins of pasta puttanesca as there are ways to make it. Ostensibly a sauce invented and made by prostitutes, it was designed to lure customers with its powerful aroma. Whatever the origin, no better cold-weather pasta sauce has come down to us. Puttanesca can be made completely with ingredients from the larder; in fact, it can be prepared entirely without ingredients that require refrigeration, though a bit of a fresh herb at the end does help. The basis is a garlicky tomato sauce; canned tomatoes are preferable here. This is brought to a high level of flavor by the addition of anchovies, capers and olives. Red pepper flakes make things even better. The whole process is ridiculously easy.

Steps:
- Bring pot of water to boil and salt it. Warm 2 tablespoons oil with garlic and anchovies in skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is lightly golden.
- Drain tomatoes and crush with fork or hands. Add to skillet, with some salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and mixture becomes saucy, about 10 minutes. Stir in olives, capers and red pepper flakes, and continue to simmer.
- Cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy. Drain quickly and toss with sauce and remaining tablespoon of oil. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, garnish with herbs if you like, and serve.

CHICKEN PUTTANESCA PASTA
This is my super-fast version of the pasta dish that originated in Naples, Italy. In addition to the classic ingredients of tomatoes, olives, garlic and anchovies, I nestle cut-up rotisserie chicken in the sauce as it simmers for a hearty weeknight meal that's ready in a flash.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and anchovy paste and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and crushed red pepper, if using. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the olives, capers and Italian seasoning. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Nestle the chicken pieces in the sauce. Simmer until the chicken is warmed through, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Serve the chicken and sauce over the spaghetti and garnish with the oregano.

Steps:
- Cook spaghetti to very al dente (should be slightly more undercooked than usual as it will be reheated in the sauce later). Drain, and set aside.
- To the empty pasta pot, add the olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and anchovy paste. Heat on medium heat, stirring occasionally until garlic starts to sizzle and anchovy paste begins to melt into the oil. Add the olives and capers, stirring occasionally until heated through and fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes and stir, allowing them to heat through. Add the basil, oregano, Pecorino, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved pasta, toss to heat-through, and serve with additional grated cheese. Then enjoy an authentic Italian meal!
