PASTA WITH GREEN PUTTANESCA
Easy weeknight recipe, and delicious too. Healthier if you use less olive oil. If you prefer, use the entire 1/2 cup the recipe recommends. I used regular garlic and Cerignola olives. I omitted the anchovies because we are vegetarians. If you would like to use them, add 10 anchovy fillets with the capers. From Melissa Clarke in the NY Times.

- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, or according to package directions, then drain but reserve a cup of cooking water.
- While the pasta is cooking, warm 1 tablespoon of oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the capers start to brown, about 3 minutes.

- Add the spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pasta and toss for 1 minute. Add a splash of pastat water if the pasta seems dry. Season with kosher salt. Toss in basil leaves.

PASTA WITH GREEN PUTTANESCA
Puttanesca is a sauce that plies its trade all year round, with ingredients - pantry staples like anchovies, garlic and olives - at the ready whenever the desire strikes. But this puttanesca takes advantage of spring greens, using fat green garlic cloves and baby spinach to lend a pungent verdancy to a tried-and-true dish. (If green garlic isn't available, use regular, but use less.)

GREEN EMPORIUM PASTA WITH PUTTANESCA SAUCE
Steps:
- Crush tomatoes with your hands. In a large nonstick pot, sauté garlic in oil until golden brown, taking care not to burn. Add tomatoes and simmer 10 minutes on a low flame. In a separate medium-sized pot, bring water to boil. Add olives and capers to tomatoes and cook 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, add linguine to the boiling water. When pasta is cooked through yet slightly firm, about 8 minutes, drain and divide among 4 bowls. Top with sauce; sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan to taste.
