Angel hair spaghetti in tomato sauce topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 340 g dry capellini pasta (angel hair)
- 3 tbsp olive oil + extra for pasta
- 1 can (800 g) canned whole plum tomatoes
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or less
- 0.5 cup coarsely chopped pitted black olives
- 3 tbsp capers, drained
- Grated Parmesan, for serving
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, add a little olive oil, and keep warm.
- Drain the tomatoes (reserve the juice) and place them in a large bowl. Crush the tomatoes with your hands. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, and chili flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the pureed tomatoes and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to lose their shape, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the olives, capers, and tomato juice. Continue simmering until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld, about 10 more minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan along with the parsley and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
