Pasta Puttanesca

Preparation

Step 1


Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add pasta and cook according to the directions on the package.

Add the parsley, olives, capers, anchovy paste, oregano and crushed red pepper to the skillet, and saute for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the rocket and simmer for 1 minute more, until the greens wilt slightly.
