| 3 | tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
| 1 | onion |
| 2 | cloves garlic |
| 2 | teaspoons capers |
| 8 | pitted black olives |
| 14 | oz (420g) canned tomatoes |
| 1/2 | teaspoon salt |
| 1/4 | teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
| 1 | tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley |
| 7 | oz (200g) spaghetti |
HEAT 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. ADD the garlic and anchovies and cook for a minute, stirring to break up the anchovies. ADD the chili, capers, olives, tomatoes, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil. REDUCE the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. WHILE the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta. DRAIN the cooked pasta into a colander and put the sauce in the bottom of the pot. TOP with the hot pasta, parsley and reserved tablespoon of olive oil, and toss together gently to combine.
