Step 1

Get Your Ingredients Ready: For the pasta, bring a big pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Slice the garlic thinly, chop the parsley, rinse the capers, and chop the olives while it warms. For this quick sauce, having everything ready (mise en place) is essential.

Step 2

Create the Flavour Base: In your big skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fillets of anchovies. Make an amazing umami foundation by mashing and stirring them with your wooden spoon until they dissolve entirely in the oil. Add the red pepper flakes and the garlic slices. Garlic should be aromatic but not browned after just one to two minutes of cooking.

Step 3

For the sauce: Add the can of crushed tomatoes to make the sauce. Mix thoroughly to include the oil and aromatics. Bring to a low simmer.

Step 4

Add the Pantry Stars: Mix in the rinsed capers and diced olives. Simmer the sauce uncovered for ten to fifteen minutes, stirring now and then, until the flavours blend nicely and it thickens somewhat.

Step 5

Cook the Pasta: Add your pasta to the boiling water and cook it as directed on the package for al dente while the sauce simmers.

Step 6

Combine & Finish: Set aside about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water just before draining the noodles. After draining, put the pasta straight into the skillet with the sauce. For one to two minutes, vigorously toss everything together over low heat. Add a little of the pasta water that was set aside if the sauce looks too thick to help it stick to the noodles. Because the anchovies, olives, and capers are already salty, taste and adjust the spice with caution.

Step 7

To serve: Pasta should be divided into bowls for serving. Add a final pinch of black pepper, chopped fresh parsley, and a thin coating of extra virgin olive oil as garnish. Serve right away.
