Pasta Alla Puttanesca

Chef Cicari #629164's Note:

This is a simple pasta dish for those of us who enjoy pasta but prefer a light meal without sauces that take long to prepare. This is the new trend in Italian cooking. The secret in these fast sauces is to choose a good quality grated cheese and do not overcook your pasta.
