PASTA PUTTANESCA
Pasta puttanesca literally means "Harlot's Pasta". It was made by the ladies of the night in Italy after a days work. It was a throw things together from the fridge thing. It didn't take a lot of time to make and is of course delicious. When you make this, use what you have..................substitutions and quantities are a personal choice. When I make it ....it never tastes the same twice ;-))

•The sauce for this recipe is to be cooked quickly over a high flame. First, put olive oil in a pan and brown the garlic. After the garlic has browned (don't burn), add olives, capaers, artichokes, tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, parsley and chicken broth. Stir farfalle while sauce simmers. Once farfalle has cooked, drain, return to the pot and stir in some sauce. Put farfalle on a plate and top with the rest of the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil.
