Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 6 anchovies fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives pitted and diced
  • 43.5 ounces diced tomatoes 3 cans that are 14.5 ounces
  • 1/4 cup parsley minced
  • 3 tablespoons capers without their liquid
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 pound spaghetti

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with kosher salt. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instrucitons. Reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water before draining.
  • Add the olive oil, garlic, anchovies, and red pepper flakes to a large skillet over medium low heat. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, stirring often, being careful not to brown or burn it. Cook for approximately two mintues.
  • Add in the diced tomatoes with their liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. You want to the sauce to thicken and deepen in flavor. Refer to the post for a photo of what the sauce will look like after simmering.
  • Stir in the olives, capers, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper (I used 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper). Toss with spaghetti. Add a little bit of the spaghetti cooking water to loosen up the sauce and make it easier to toss.
