Sauce Puttanesca and Pasta Mediterranee


Today we made a quick and simple pasta sauce for lunch in its two variations: Sauce Puttanesca and Pasta Mediterranee. Both were so delicious and came together very fast!

Charlie minced garlic like a pro.

Diced tomatoes, tomato paste, a few sliced kalamata olives, and the minced garlic went into a pot.

Everything simmered for a while then I added some red chili pepper flakes and cracked black pepper. In this moment I realized there was no salt or onion in this dish.  A rarity!

Here's our pasta, all steamy and ready to get sauced.

I topped mine with feta cheese to make pasta mediterranee.  Charlie topped his with parmesan to make sauce putanesca.  And there you have it folks, two delicious afternoon pasta dishes!
