Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 thinly sliced garlic cloves
- 1 seeded and small diced Fresno pepper
- 4 roughly chopped anchovy fillets

- 28 ounces whole peeled tomatoes crushed by hand

- 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley + more for garnish
- 1 pound dried spaghetti pasta

- Now, add the anchovies and capers and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour in the tomatoes and stew over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes to infuse some flavors.
- Finish the sauce by stirring in the olives, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set it to the side.
- Drop the dried pasta into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the saucepan and toss it together.
- Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper, and serve in a bowl with additional fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This is meant to be eaten as soon as it is finished being made.
- How to Store: Cover the pasta and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This will not freeze well.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of pasta to a medium-sized saucepot, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, and heat over low to medium heat while continually gently stirring with a spoon until hot. Adjust seasonings and serve.
- Any pasta shape will work for this recipe.
- If you are using fresh homemade pasta, note the timing of assembling this recipe, as fresh pasta will only take 1 to 2 minutes to cook.
- Substitute the fresh chiles with 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
