0 In a large deep pan add olive oil and heat over medium heat. 1 Add the anchovies, cook for about 2-3 minutes to gently breakdown the anchovies, they will dissolve into the oil. Then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. 2 Add in the canned tomatoes with their juices and stir. 3 Then add in the chili flakes, dried oregano, salt, pepper, sugar, basil, olives, and capers. 4 Turn the heat to medium-low and keep at a simmer, stirring occasionally, keeping the pan covered partially. Cook for about 20-30 minutes until the sauce is thickened to your liking. 5 While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta according to package directions and save 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside. 6 When the sauce is ready, mix the pasta directly into the sauce and add a little pasta water if needed to thin. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if desired.View original recipe
