Pasta Dishes
Pasta doesn’t always need a tomato or cream base though. Take your cue from the Italians and make the most of the Mediterranean’s aubergines, courgettes, peppers and basil. Toss choice vegetables together with your favourite pasta shape, plenty of extra virgin olive oil and a grating of Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano for a simple supper, Italian-style.

Pasta Puttanesca: Recipe
Pasta alla Puttanesca
2 Tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic, 3 anchovies (from a tin), 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, 1 Tablespoon capers, 1 - 2 pinches chili flakes (depending on how spicy you like), 1 28 ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes,optional: a few fresh bail leaves or oregano leaves. Mince the garlic finely. Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, and add the anchovies and garlic, stirring to break up the anchovies and keep the garlic from burning. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and the anchovies melt. Roughly chop the olives and add them, the chili flakes and the drained capers to the pan. Stir and then add the tomatoes, crushing each one in your hand before adding it to the pan along with the juice. Simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Sauce should be thick and rich. Toss sauce with penne, spaghetti or bucatini over medium heat for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the pasta to absorb some sauce. Add torn basil leaves or oregano if desired. Note: This sauce does require need salt or cheese, because of the salty flavors of anchovies, capers and olives.

Are the serving sizes for uncooked pasta for a main dish or side dish?
In traditional Italian cooking, pasta is often a side dish, but when I make it, I usually make it as main dish (the whole meal is pasta), so do the serving sizes on the containers imply it is a side dish or a main dish? Because they seem sort of small for a main dish.
MAIN DISH!
It's based on calories and carbs....if you like a lot of pasta, make it all. If you don't, then make it as indicated. Personally, I cook up the whole box and only use what I want for that night's dinner, and then there's always more sauce leftover than noodles, so I have extra, etc.
