Ingredients

Servings
  • 500 g (1lb) pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic thinly sliced, cloves
  • 4 anchovy fillet roughly chopped
  • ½ tsp chili flakes or red pepper flakes
  • 400 g (14oz) tomato chopped
  • ½ cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • salt to serve
  • black pepper to serve

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.

  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.
