Amount Ingredient
1 tbl Olive oil
5 tsp Garlic, minced
12 lrg Plum tomatoes, seeded (about 5 cups), coarsely chopped
3/4 cup Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives pitted and chopped
3/4 cup Tawny Port
1 jar capers, (4-ounces), drained

Instructions:
Instructions: Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives. Saute until tomatoes begin to release their juice, about 5 minutes. Add Port and next 6 ingredients. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 6 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer to large bowl. Pour sauce over pasta; toss. Garnish with additional basil.

Serve, passing Parmesan separately.

Note: Parmesan goes a long way with this meatless entree, so use sparingly.

Pour some Chianti
