Spaghetti alla Puttanesca

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
