Made a really quick pasta sauce last night...

Super quick, super easy, super fragrant, and it tastes good too.

4 -5 cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped.
1/2 onion, chopped (I have a handy dandy teeny tiny food processor that is just perfect for tear free chopping onions)
a handful of good olives, I like either black greek olives, or green sicilian olives -- but I suppose canned chopped olives would work as well
1 jar/can of anchovy filets, in olive oil (drain the olive oil into the pan to cook the garlic and onions) - chopped up
2 -3 teaspoons of capers (you can use the anchovies around the capers if you prefer)
red pepper flakes to taste
1 can chopped tomatoes.

In a pan, drain olive oil from anchovies, and sautee onions until very lightly carmelized, add garlic and sautee for a few minutes, til your mouth is watering from the smell of garlic, add anchovies and stir a few minutes, add tomatoes, olives and capers and stir gently. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve over pasta.
