Ingredients
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped1 tin flat anchovy fillets, drained1 /2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes20 oil-cured black olives, cracked away from pit and coarsely chopped3 tablespoons capers1 8oz jar roasted bell peppers2 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drainedA few grinds black pepper1/4 cup (a couple of handfuls) flat leaf parsley, chopped1/2 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente (with a bite)Crusty bread, for moppingGrated Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano, for passing, optional
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil, garlic, anchovies, and crushed pepper. Saute mixture until anchovies melt into oil and completely dissolve and garlic is tender, about 3 minutes: your kitchen never smelled so good! Add olives, capers, tomatoes, bell peppers, black pepper, and parsley. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes.
Toss sauce with cooked pasta. Pass bread and cheese at the table and serve with a simple salad of mixed bitter greens dressed with oil and vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Cook's Note: Get your olives from the bulk bins in the market, rather than buying a jar. The unit price is always much less per pound and you can get just what you need for each recipe.
