Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta (linguini or other ribbon style pasta)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 6 anchovy fillet or 2 tablespoons anchovy paste (optional
- 28 ounces plum tomatoes canned, whole, in juice
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
- ½ cup kalamata olives pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add one tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook pasta until desired doneness.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the olives, garlic and tomatoes. Pit the olives by pressing each with the flat side of a knife then remove the pit. Chop olives roughly and set aside. Mince the garlic and set aside.
- Cut the whole tomatoes into rough pieces (what I do is to crush each tomato with my hands as I add them into the pan).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes and anchovies (if using).
- Cook, stirring and mashing the anchovy fillets until the garlic is fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped or crushed tomatoes with their juice. Stir in capers and olives. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cook until tomatoes are softened and sauce is thickened. About 5-10 minutes.
- When ready to serve, add the fresh basil and the cooked pasta into the tomato sauce and toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
