Instructions
- Bring a large sauté pan or fry pan to medium heat and add the olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, and red fresno pepper. Sauté for about 7 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, kalamata olives, and capers and cook for additional 15 minutes.
- While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook your spaghetti according to the package directions. Save 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.
- Add the pasta water, spaghetti, and parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until the sauce thickens and starts to stick to the pasta, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with some chiffonade basil, olive oil, and cracked pepper.
Notes
- Pasta water is essential to a good sauce! I often save an extra cup after boiling the pasta in case the sauce dries out fast while tossing with the spaghetti.
