As request i write the cooking recipe of:
SPAGHETTI ALLA PUTTANESCA, Roman and Neapolitan recipe
Start by frying 4 cloves of garlic in extra virgin olive oil over low heat together with a chopped spicy chili pepper in a 30cm pan,
after a couple of minutes add a generous handful of desalted capers, some of which chopped, add a dozen well-drained anchovies in oil.
Mix a little with a wooden spoon and break the anchovies, add a 800 grams or one kilo of peeled tomatoes.
Cook, when the sauce is cooked, taste it and add salt if needed
5 minutes before turning off add a nice handful of black olives, preferably pitted.
Find the 4 cloves of garlic and remove them.
Turn off the heat and pour the sauce over the pasta.
These types of pasta are good: Spaghetti, Spaghettoni, Vermicelli, Linguine, and as short pasta Penne or Rigatoni.
This amount of sauce we prepared is good for 700 grams, 1.5 lbs of pasta (approximately 4 or 5 people)
Once you have poured the sauce onto the pasta, mix well, using two forks to sprinkle everything with a generous handful of chopped parsley.
If you made the sauce in a 30cm pan you can add the pasta directly to the sauce in the pan and mix it well.
-How to cook pasta:
Take a large pot, put about 7 or 8 liters of water, boil it, when it boils add a handful of salt then put the pasta in the boiling water.
Move it with a fork otherwise it will stick, cook it for as long as indicated on the package, better 2 minutes less than 2 minutes more.
Drain well and pour the sauce over it, mixing well.
You need to put the sauce on the pasta as soon as it has drained the water, don't wait otherwise it will stick, so prepare the sauce first, as soon as it is ready, boil the pasta..
-How to desalt capers. Use only SALT CAPERS - NOT CAPERS IN VINEGAR
Place the salt capers in plenty of warm water, repeat the operation several times, now the capers are swollen of water, then squeeze the capers with your hand and drain the water well.

I was following that all the way until we come to "season the pasta".


When I think of "season", it is sprinkling herbs or spices on the food.


When you said "season", did you mean put the sauce on it?

I have changed the translation, I have asked to the translator to traduce the italian word "condire" and "condimento" and the translator gives me season and seasoned.
I hope it's clearest now
 
Thank you Marcello. We should try your recipe before our May trip to Naples, Capri, the Amalfi coast, and island of Ischia.
So looking forward to our return to Italy.
Wow fantastic trip.
Nice, you must go to eat the best pizza in Naples to: -GORIZIA 1916, Via Bernini 29/31, Phone to reserve +39 0815782248, Napoli. - one of the best PIZZERIA of Naples, so of the whole world. Tast the PIZZA FRITTA and you'll wake up in paradise.
 
The step that amazed me was ‘The Caper Squeezing Caper.’
I just take some out of the jar and throw’em in.

You must take a salt capers, not in vinegar, so put the salt capers into a warm water for more than one time, after an hour drain the capers, that became swollen with water and sqeeze well with your hand
I hope this is more understandable

Your hotel is in front of the CASTEL DELL'OVO, so you have to walk to the FUNICOLARE a sort of city bus on rack rail you have to take it and get off at VOMERO, it's really simple.
On the foot track to FUNICOLARE you will met LA PESCHERIA AZZURRA, a characteristic sale of fresh fish, with an adjoining kitchen,
you can choose between delicious pasta dishes with fish or seafood, or the famous CUOPPO of paper, full of fried fish

Thanks for the recommendations,
I’m on a tour with Tauck, not comfy enough to tour on our own yet, so when we get free time……….

We were in Venice, Florence and Rome 2019. Too bad we were not familiar with you then or we would have visited for lunch.
 
For a good time... ;)

Search the origin of the word "putanesca".

Another recipe:
PENNE ALL'ARRABBIATA, Roman recipe
In a 30cm pan, fry 4/6 cloves of garlic over a low heat, in plenty of extra virgin olive oil, about 8/10 tablespoons of oil, together with several chopped hot peppers. The sauce must be very spicy.
Adjust according to your taste.
The garlic should not burn, so use a low heat.
Take a nice bunch of parsley and remove the stems, put the stems in the pan, which should be done at the same time as adding the tomato.
Add 600/700 grams of peeled tomatoes, add 3 generous pinches of salt.
Cook and mash the tomatoes with a fork. When the sauce is cooked, taste it and add salt if necessary.
Find the garlic cloves and parsley stems and remove them.
Turn off the heat and pour the sauce over the pasta.
Once you have poured the sauce over the pasta, mix well, using two spoons, at this point add the well chopped parsley tufts, the same parsley that you previously removed the stems from.
Use only these types of short pasta: Penne, Pennette or Ziti.
The quantity of sauce we have prepared is sufficient for 700 grams of pasta (about 4 or 5 people)
If you made the sauce in a 30cm pan you can add the pasta directly to the sauce in the pan and mix it well.
-How to cook pasta:
Take a large pot, put about 7 or 8 liters of water, boil it, when it boils add a handful of salt then put the pasta in the boiling water.
Move it with a fork otherwise it will stick, cook it for the time indicated on the package, preferably 2 minutes less than 2 minutes more.
Drain well and pour over the sauce, mixing well.
You need to put the sauce on the pasta as soon as the water has drained, don't wait otherwise it will stick, so prepare the sauce first, as soon as it is ready, boil the pasta.

Nothing would get me to knock on a prostitutes door faster than the smell of garlic and anchovies wafting down the alley. With some good, crusty bread and a nice, chilled white whine, there are some things that are worth paying for.
