Ah god, the world's so fucking beautiful. I made puttanesca sauce. So should you.

I need to take another stab at that, my first go-round had unbalanced flavors.

Unfortunatly for me, Sean does not like Puttanesca. He is lame. Perhaps I will make some when I am allowed in the kitchen alone. Which recipe did you use?

A modified version out of a cookbook I picked up in a used bookstore ages ago. About half a cup of minced garlic, a medium onion chopped coarsely, a big can of diced tomatoes, 3 real tomatoes seeded and chopped, and 3 tablespoons (approximately) apiece of capers and green pimiento-stuffed olives, chopped. Do the onions and garlic first, then bung everything else in. Add a tsp or two of red pepper flakes (Korean is ideal) and basil/parsley/chervil/whatever you like to taste.

I think it's pretty standard as puttanesca goes, plus the red pepper. It's especially good on spinach or whole wheat pasta with some parmesan up ons.
