Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is tender. Add the capers and anchovy and cook for 2 minutes more.
  2. Remove the whole tomatoes from the can one by one and squeeze the tomatoes into the pan to break them up, discard the juices (or reserve to add to soup). Add the crushed tomatoes and olives and simmer uncovered for about 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened.
  3. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Toss with cooked pasta and garnish with parmesan cheese if desired.
