directions

  • On medium low, first add in the anchovies and oil until nearly dissolved. Add in minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for a minuet to remove raw garlic flavor.
  • Add in pitted, chopped olives, and rinsed capers. Stir and continue to sauté. After about three minuets, add in tin of tomatoes. Break up some of the tomatoes with a fork.
  • Cook in a large pot uncovered until reduced. When the sauce begins to look red brown, taste for salt and heat. Adjust to taste. Let cook until the sauce is reduced and thickened.

Tweaks

  1. Adding in fresh cherry tomatoes towards the end of cooking can offer a nice contrast of freshness to a rather salt heavy sauce.
