Spaghetti / pasta
20
ml
olive oil
½
tsp
crushed chili flakes
4

8
anchovy fillets
½
cup

cup

8
tbsp
Virgin Olive oil
chopped parsley for garnishing or basil leaves.
Instructions
Heat the oil, then add the garlic and lightly roast.
Add the chili and the anchovies. The anchovies should be disintegrating in the oil - if not feel free to help disintegrate with a wooden spoon.
Add the capers, olives, and tomatoes, then stir.
Cook for 15 mins and if using fresh tomatoes, crush with a fork if necessary to achieve a sauce texture.
*Serve while warm with grated cheese.
