Pasta the way a whore would make it

Yep, that's what it translates to. Puttanesca.

Made some fresh pasta (4 xl eggs, 3.5c flour, should have used some semonila, but didn't have any, natch)

Tossed some garlic in a pan, I think about 4 cloves, and some dried chilis....because I had them. I'm sure you can use some pepper flakes. Sauteed for a minute or 2, enough that I didn't burn the garlic, then threw in 2 cans of fire-roasted tomatoes, a cup of half-mooned zucchini. Cooked few minutes (maybe 5?) then tossed in a half a cup of black olives, and 2tbs of rinsed capers. Cooked the pasta for a few seconds then threw in the pan and tossed. Served with a (cheap 8.99) Multipulciano.

(started out with a French 75 cocktail)

You'd think that growing up in an Italian house, my wife would have a deep appreciation and love for fresh pasta...turns out she's never made it on her own.

This post has inspired me to get out my grandmother's machine and make some.
