Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil⠀

2 shallots or 1 onion, finely chopped⠀

2 large garlic cloves, crushed⠀

½ tsp chilli flakes

1 tin anchovy fillets, roughly chopped⠀

1 jar pitted black olives cut in half

2 tbsp capers, drained⠀

400g can chopped tomatoes⠀

300g tagliatelle (or similar I used mafaldine)

Cheese for top gear such as pecorino or Parmesan

This is my husbands favourite pasta dish, he loves olives and capers, and it’s so easy to make I love it too. For a vegan alternative swap the anchovies for a tablespoon of soy sauce

Method

Fry you onions in the olive oil until translucent. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and fry gently for a minute or so.
Add your anchovies and fry until they break down then add capers and olives to warm through
Add your tomatoes and simmer until reduced by half, approximately 20 minutes
During this time cook your pasta for about 9 minutes in we’ll salted water
Scoop out your pasta and mix it with the sauce adding a little of the cooking water and serve topped with Parmesan or pecorino
