Entered for safe-keeping, I love "diablo" pasta sauces for a change of pace. Note that creamy ricotta may not be substituted for the hard cheese sold as ricotta salata; if you can't find it, use shavings of the best hard Parmesan or Romano cheese available to you. San Marzano tomatoes are a variety of plum tomatoes considered by many chefs to be the best sauce tomatoes in the world; brands available in supermarkets include Cento, La Bella, Solinia and Vanita. As for the olives: does your supermarket have an "olive bar" that allows you to get a little of this and a little of that?

Steps:
- PREPARE SAUCE:.
- Take a large skillet and add a 2-count of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once you get a shimmer, add the minced garlic and dried red chiles and cook for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion, pitted olives, torn basil leaves, thyme and bay leaf then cook until translucent -- about 2-3 minutes.
- Strain the San Marzano tomatoes and hand crush into a separate bowl, than add to skillet.
- Bring to boil, turn heat to low and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. (It is important to cook it down so there won't be a watery pool beneath the pasta.).
- PREPARE PASTA:.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil to cook the pasta. (The salted water should taste like the sea.)
- Cook the fettuccini al dente.
- Drain (reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water) and dump directly into the diablo sauce.
- (If the sauce is too thick, with a ladle, add some of the pasta water to thin out the sauce.)
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Garnish with basil leaves and some shaved salata ricotta.
