JO MAMA'S WORLD FAMOUS SPAGHETTI
My kids will give up a steak dinner for this spaghetti. It is a recipe I have been perfecting for years and it is so good (if I may humbly say) that my kids are disappointed when they eat spaghetti anywhere else but home! In fact they tell me I should open a restaurant and serve only this spaghetti and garlic bread. In response to requests, I have posted the recipe for Recipe #28559 that uses approximately 1/2 of the sauce from this recipe. Have spaghetti one night and lasagna later! Thanks to all of you who have tried my recipe and have written a review. I read and appreciate every one of them! Chef Note: After I posted this recipe I remembered a funny incident--my dear husband usually has a nice bottle of wine handy so when I make a batch of spaghetti I just help myself to a splash of it. On one occasion, there wasn't a bottle opened, but there was a bottle sitting on the counter so I got out the corkscrew and helped myself. For some reason, the spaghetti that night was the best ever. My husband asked what wine I put in it and I showed him the bottle. He nearly fell off the chair. I had opened a rather expensive bottle he had bought to give his boss. Goes to show you--don't use a wine for cooking you wouldn't drink. You get the best results from a good wine!

SPAGHETTI ALLA PUTTANESCA (SPAGHETTI WITH HOT SAUCE)
Spaghetti alla Puttanesca translates literally as "Whore's Spaghetti" it is also called Spaghetti alle Vongole Fujute (spaghetti with escaped clams), Neapolitan tradition claims that the former name (Spaghetti alla Puttanesca) is derived from the fact that good hearted Neapolitan prostitutes would prepare the dish for their clients from ingredients found in every Neapolitan kitchen and that the most visited ladies were the ones that made the best spaghetti . . . in Naples I guess the stomach rules the heart!

Steps:
- Over high heat bring a large pot of heavily salted water to the boil to cook the spaghetti.
- Rinse the anchovies (if used) and capers in cold water to remove saltiness.
- Put oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. When the oil heats up, add the garlic, pepper flakes, and anchovies and sauté, stirring constantly (about 4 minutes). Do not allow the garlic to brown!
- When the oil becomes fragrant add the capers, and olives and continue sautéing for a few minutes, stirring often. Lower the heat to low and keep the sauce warm.
- Cook spaghetti in boiling water until al dente, drain reserving about ½ cup of the cooking water to "loosen" the sauce if seems too "tight".
- Add the chopped tomatoes and most of the basil (reserve a little to dress) to the sauce, stirring or tossing to combine and heat the tomatoes through (the idea is not to cook the tomatoes but only to heat them through).
- Add the cooked and drained spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce and correct seasoning. Divide among the serving plates, dress each with chiffonade basil and serve accompanied by grated Parmesan or Romano cheese and crusty French or Italian bread.
