Easy Vegetarian Puttanesca

Fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, hot pepper flakes, jalapenos, a spoon of basil pesto, and tart little caper buds create a sexy, spicy pasta sauce.
-
1/2 package
gluten-free spaghetti
-
4-6 cloves
garlic, chopped

1 14-oz. can
organic fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juice

1 tablespoon
jarred jalapenos, chopped

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions, just until al dente. Do not over-cook your pasta or you’ll ruin the dish.
- Meanwhile, pour a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil into a deep skillet and heat it gently over medium heat.
- Toss in the garlic and stir for a minute; add the tomatoes, jalapenos, capers, basil pesto, and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Shake some hot pepper flakes in, to taste.
- Drain the cooked pasta and pour it into the skillet; stir gently for a minute to coat the strands.
- Serve in warm shallow bowls with torn off pieces of gluten-free bread to soak up any sauce left in the bottom of the bowl.
