Does anyone happen to have the recipe for Pasta Puttanesca from the June or July 1997 issue? I can't find my copy, and the online recipe finder doesn't have it (it does have one for Penne Puttanesca, but that's not the right one).
TIA!

Also, Tally, if you do the recipe search, there is a great recipe for Puttanesca Sauce (or used to be) that was an "add-to" recipe based on the "Quick and Easy Pasta Sauce" recipe that we live by (it is also on the recipe finder. Look under "sauce" I think.
