Jm'S Perfect Pasta Puttanesca

• 8-12 fillets anchovy in olive oil
• 3 plump garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram (optional)
• Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
• Olive oil from anchovies + extra virgin olive oil to equal 1/2C
• 28 ounces whole peeled tomatoes, drained and broken up into pieces by squeezing with your hands or chopping with a knife
• 1 cup briny olives, cut in 1/2 lengthwise
• 1/4 cup capers, drained
• 1 lemon (a Meyer lemon, if possible), cut into 8 wedges
• 1 pound Penne rigate

1. Add the anchovies, the olive oil from the anchovy jar and the extra virgin oil to a large skillet. Heat to medium low and cook for 10 minutes, breaking up the anchovies with a spatula until they 'melt' into a paste. Avoid letting the anchovy bits crisp.
2. Add the garlic (and the pepper and marjoram if you're using them) and cook for 5 more minutes. If the ingredients in the skillet start to brown, turn down the heat.
3. Add the tomatoes carefully to the skillet (the hot oil may splatter). Bring to a boil and then simmer the sauce for 20 minutes.
4. Bring a pot of water to boil, and cook the penne according to package directions
5. Add the olives and capers to the sauce. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Squeeze each lemon wedge and add it to the sauce, then simmer for another few minutes.
6. Drain the pasta and stir it into the sauce. Serve with grated parmesan at the table.
