Spaghetti alla Puttanesca

Name: Spaghetti alla Puttanesca
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 3/4 cup Pesto (it should taste a bit garlicky, if it doesn't then add the next ingredient: Crushed garlic); 4 cloves garlic, (see above); 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved; 3 table spoons capers; 1/3 cup pit-less, coarsely chopped Calamata olives,; 1 package Pasta of your choice (I usually use fresh Fettuccine - it tastes great and needs only 2 minutes to cook!); Pecorino Romano cheese; Chopped Parsley

This is an easy and a favorite pasta dish. And the flavor is amazing.
You can make your own Pesto sauce (I do it occasionally) or buy a good one (Costco has a decent Pesto sauce)
PS: All store-bought Pesto seem to lack enough garlic....! I fixed that problem as you can see below
