Ingredients

Instructions

1. Wash the capers under running water to remove the salt.
2. Bring a pot of water to the boil so the pasta cooks as the sauce is made.
3. Heat a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
4. Add the anchovies (about 2-3 per person) and stir with a spatula until they melt into the oil, about a minute.
5. Add the garlic (finely chopped or pressed) and the olives, squeezing the olives gently by hand first, and mix together.
6. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the peeled tomatoes with the chopped parsley, mash them with a potato masher until smooth, and let the sauce lightly simmer.
7. Pour the tomato mixture into the pan and simmer a few minutes, stirring now and then.
8. Drain the cooked pasta, add it to the pan and toss well with the sauce.
9. Take the pan off the heat and serve.
