Pasta Puttanesca Recipe

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and anchovies and cook for a minute, stirring to break up the anchovies. Add the chili, capers, olives, tomatoes, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta. Drain the cooked pasta into a colander and put the sauce in the bottom of the pot. Top with the hot pasta and toss together gently to combine.

Variation: To make this meal more protein-packed you can add a 6 oz (180g) can of tuna (drained and flaked) to the sauce at the end of cooking to heat through.
