Mezze Maniche Alla Puttanesca - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 slices garlic
    4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon hot pepper (peperoncino flakes)
    1 teaspoon oregano
    1 teaspoon parsley (sliced fresh)
    2 pinches salt
    2 pinches black pepper
    25 g anchovies (5-6 flat fillets in olive oil, better if extravirgin)
    80 g green olives (pitted)
    80 g black olives (pitted)
    1 (794 g) can diced tomatoes
Preparation
    Put in a frying pan (aluminum is suggested for these types of cooking but not necessarily) extravirgin olive oil, garlic, anchovies and the hot pepper (if you don't like too spicy use 1/2 teaspoon).
    Brown the previous ingredients until the anchovies melts.
    Meanwhile cut into with a knife the green and the black olives.
    Add the tomoatoes, sliced olives, oregano, black pepper, parsley and salt.
    Cook the sauce on a low flame/heat for 20 minutes.
    Meanwhile, use another pot to boil the water.
    Cook the pasta, exactly al dente ;-).
    Drain the pasta and dress it (in the same water pot) with half of the sauce you prepared.
    Plate up and add a bit more sauce on the top with a pinch of fresh parsley.
    Buon Appetito!
