After half a decade, here's something new! When I lived in D.C. and worked at a record stores in Dupont Circle, the Classical Music buyer invited me to dinner. He served what he called "Putanesca" which he explained translate to "Whore Sauce." According to him,when a john would engage a Working Girl, a quick meal was included in the services paid for. So this would be a meal where you could fire up the hot plate, dump prep ingredient, dump them in the pan, cover and... "occupy yourself" for a bit. By the time things, uh wrapped up, the unattended meal would simply be ready for consumption. He actually prepared this by throwing oil, onion and spices into a pot and then emptying a big can of tomato juice into the pot - with the heat on high the whole time. Within 10-15 minutes the juice would have boiled down to sauce consistency. Over the years I've seen this dish on restaurant menus, sometimes primly referred to as Pasta With "Femina" Sauce. But which chunky ingredients. The below is an adaptation which is insanely quick and easy. In fact you prep and cook as you go and it moves along quite nicely. Maybe it takes 15 from start to finish.

Ingredients:
a medium tomato
half a medium onion
4-5 garlic gloves, in the skin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
6 pitted olives
2 tsp capers
DO NOT ADD SALT - the olives and capers are brined and loaded with salt!
1 cup cooked whole wheat pasta
2 TBS olive oil

Directions:
heat oil in pan, untl it starts smoking, then lower heat to medium
coarsely chop onions and add to pan
put garlic in garlic cooker (or just put in a covered bowl, or on a plate covered with a glass bowl/up and nuke on hi for 30 seconds
peel garlic and add to pan
add oregano and basil - you can add some red pepper flakes if you'd like
coarsley chop tomatoes and add to pan
coarsely chop olives and add to pan
add capers and heat for about three minutes
top w cooked spagehetti and cover for about three minutes

Dump this mess out on your plate. You can add cooked sausages or meatballs or chicken for protein
