Instructions

In a large pot of boiling salted water cook the spaghetti al dente.
While pasta is cooking, in a large pan add the olive oil, garlic and tomatoes, basil, oregano and a pinch or 2 of hot pepper flakes, gently stir together and cook on medium heat until tomatoes have softened and have started dry out, make a space between the tomatoes and add the anchovies, continue to cook on medium heat until the anchovies have turned into a creamy paste (about 5 minutes), gently combine.
Add the cooked spaghetti plus 3-4 tablespoons of pasta water and a tablespoon or two of extra oil if you wish, raise the heat to high, toss continually coating the pasta and the sauce has thickened, approximately 1 minute. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Rule of thumb is 2 ounces / 57 grams of dry pasta per person. Although you could increase to 2 1/2 ounces / 75 grams. This will yield approximately 1 1/4 – 1 3/4 cups cooked.
Any leftover pasta should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to 2 days. It can be reheated in a pan with a little water.
