Question by Pens Superfan 87<3: What is a good meal I could cook for my boyfriend for the first time?
So my boyfriend is coming over this Friday and I’m planning to make him a meal. Now I’m a fairly decent cook and can cook just about anything thrown at me with proper instructions, but here’s the thing, I live in an area where I can’t get lots of the more exotic spices and ingredients, so please keep it common ingredients. Plus my boyfriend is a little on the picky side of an eater. He only likes American and Italian food. Please help! I don’t know what to do!

Spaghettini alla Puttanesca
Ingredients
1 lb. spaghettini, cooked al dente
3 oz. extra virgin olive oil
3 oz. pitted olives
1 lb. ripe tomatoes
3 oz. anchovies
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Dried red pepper flakes
1 1/2 oz. capers
Kosher salt
Method
Chop the anchovies. Peel the tomatoes, dispense with the seeds and cut into small chunks. Pour the oil in a warmed skillet and add the garlic and peperoncino, cut into small pieces. Cover. Cook over medium heat until the garlic browns.
Remove garlic and add the anchovies. Add tomatoes, olives and capers [well washed]. Stir and let cook for about 7 minutes. Taste the sauce for seasoning. Pour the sauce over spaghetti in a skillet with the sauce, toss well and serve
