BOW TIES WITH UNCOOKED PUTTANESCA SAUCE

Steps:

• 1 In a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, anchovies, garlic, olives, parsley, capers, oregano, oil, salt, and red pepper. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature. 2 Bring at least 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, then the pasta. Stir well. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is tender. Set aside some of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. 3 Toss the pasta with the sauce. Add a little of the cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
