Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound (16 ounces) dried pasta
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • (1) 2 ounce tin flat anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, more if needed

Instruction

  • Warm the oil in a large saucepan over medium-heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add in the garlic, anchovies, oregano, and crushed pepper to skillet and saute the mixture until the anchovies have dissolved entirely and the garlic is slightly golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Add olives, capers, tomatoes, white wine, black pepper, and parsley. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat, and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes. Toss in the basil and salt and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. 
  • While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta. 
  • Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil, add a dash of salt then add in the pasta and cook according to package instructions. 
  • When the pasta is finished cooking, drain well then add it to the sauce and toss to combine.
  • Plate and top with cheese, if desired.
