INSTRUCTIONS

*Pasta with Marinated Tomatoes, Capers, Olives, Garlic, Chilies, and Herbs.
Author's note:  "This pasta dish would not be the same without the piquancy
it picks up from the capers, and from its Italian name. The dish loosely
translates as 'bad woman pasta,' as several other lusty tomato and garlic
and herb pasta dishes do.  Legend has it that these dishes are so named
because they are very aromatic and lure customers in when other charms
fail. Another explanation is that the dishes are so quick they can be
prepared between customers."
Combine olive oil with olives, capers, garlic, tomatoes, basil, salt, and
pepper flakes.  Let sit and marinate for half hour if possible. Cook penne
in rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with sauce.
Serve immediately, or let cool and enjoy as a salad. Source: From Pantry to
