Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti pasta
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more to taste
- 28 ounce can San Marzano Whole Tomatoes drained
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package directions.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the anchovy paste, garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Coarsely chop the tomatoes then add them to the pan. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir to combine the tomatoes and olive oil mixture. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down and formed a sauce.
- Stir in the olives and capers.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
Notes
- Look for cans of San Marzano tomatoes for this recipe. This variety of tomato is full of flavor and doesn’t contain many seeds, which makes it perfect for sauce making.
- You can use any type of black olive that you like. I typically use Kalamata olives, but a nice Gaeta or Nicoise would also work well. Just be sure to remove the pits before you add the olives to the sauce.
- Salt packed capers have the best flavor and texture, just give them a quick rinse before putting them in the sauce.
