Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain and reserve 1 cup of cooking water. 
  2. While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pan set over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the anchovies and with the back of a wooden spoon, smash into the oil. Add the tomatoes and chilli flakes and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the pitted olives and capers then simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly. Taste and season with salt and pepper as necessary. 
  6. Add the pasta to the pan along with a little of the cooking water. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.
  7. Serve with grated Parmesan and fresh basil.
