Pasta Puttanesca (vermecelli With Hot Sauce)

Penal substitution does not turn God into a cosmic child abuser. It does not reduce Christ to the passive victim of some divine injustice. It does not pit the Trinity against itself. No, in the God-forsakenness of Christ on the cross, the love of God and the justice of God are revealed on our behalf. United in purpose, Father and Son act in concert to save God’s people. The sinless Son of God bears our sin, and then God pours out the wrath that our sin deserves, and Jesus the Son endures it so that we, who deserve that wrath, might never encounter it. This is the gospel, the good news of the cross, and it calls us to forsake our sin, to turn away from it and embrace Christ, the forsaken one, so that we may not be forsaken.

Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan and saute the garlic until  pale
gold in color. Add the anchovies and stir, breaking them apart  with
the back of a wooden spoon. When the anchovies have dissolved,  add the
tomatoes and bring quickly to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer  for 10
minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in green and black  olives,
capers, basil and hot pepper flakes to taste. Bring to a  steady,
gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Adjust seasonings.  Stir in the
parsley and cook until the sauce has thickened. Cook the  vermicelli
according to directions until al dente. Drain. Toss with  enough of the
sauce to coat the pasta well. Serve any remaining sauce  on the side.

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
