Instructions
- Fill 3/4 of a large stock pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Rinse the salt off the capers.
- To prepare the sauce, add some olive oil to a pan, sauté the finely sliced garlic (or crush it if you prefer a more delicate taste) with the red pepper flakes over medium high heat until light golden brown.
- Add the anchovy fillets and let them melt completely; skip this step if omitting anchovies.
- Add the tomatoes and cook until the sauce gets thicker.
- Season with salt and pepper and stir in the olives and the capers.
- Reduce the heat to a low and simmer until the pasta is done.
- When the water boils, add a tablespoon of salt and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
- Finely chop the parsley and add it to the sauce; reserve a little for plate decoration.
- Drain the pasta in a colander and add it directly to the pan with the sauce.
- Toss with a wooden spoon until the pasta is evenly coated. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little pasta cooking liquid.
- Top the plates with the remaining parsley; enjoy your lunch!
