This is my absolute favorite quick pasta sauce. It combines some of my favorite flavors, such as olives, artichokes, garlic and anchovies.....mmmm. Don't be afraid of the anchovies, they dissolve in the sauce, but give it such intense flavor, you can't leave it out. This sauce comes together very quick.
1 lb pasta, use your favorite, spaghetti, linguini, cavatapi
3 T. olive oil
1 tin anchovies, with oil
3-4 gloves garlic, chopped
1 T. red pepper flakes
1 can quartered artichoke hearts, you can use marinaded ones also (about 1 -1/2 cups)
1/2 cup kalamata olives, chopped
1 can straw mushrooms
1 can diced tomatoes (sometimes I use 2 cans, depending on how much sauce i want)
1 T. capers
parsely
fresh basil
salt/pepper
Boil and drain pasta according to directions.
Heat olive oil in deep frying pan and add anchovies, cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to dissolve, add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 1-2 minutes more. The house will start to smell amazing. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. Add the artichoke hearts, olives and mushrooms, saute for 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice, season with salt, pepper and parsely and cook for about 15 minutes. Toss in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Add sauce to cooked pasta and toss with grated cheese!
