This is a version of Puttanesca.

A puttana is a sex worker in Italian and it is thought to have been named because it was quick and easy for people with a "busy schedule" to cook and eat between appointments.

Anyway, it is basically anchovies, capers and olives. This version is heavy on anchovies, but you could cut it down to a couple if you wanted to

Method

Put the water on to boil for the pasta

Drop the whole tin and oil of anchovies into a cold pan and put it on a medium heat. As the anchovies dissolve to a paste, add the garlic and stir it for a few minutes and add the olives.

When the water is boiling add the tomatoes and capers to the sauce and the pasta to the water.

Cook the sauce gently while the pasta is cooking then combine them at the end. It won’t need much, if any, salt due to the anchovies but add ground black pepper a few minutes before the end. Put the extra olive oil in right at the end before stirring the pasta in.

Spanish

Spanish has three nationalities: British, Irish and Australian due to a series of accidents. Spanish is not one of them,

Mark was born in Australia in 1966 and has lived on a damp, cold island off the coast of France (the locals call it "Blighty") since 1970. Educated in the State School System (proudly), his teachers unanimously agreed he had raised indolence and mediocrity to world-class levels.

In sport, he excelled at outrunning the bigger kids to avoid a regular hiding. These traits have seen him through several aimless career changes and now, in his 50s, he finds himself wondering what he will do when he grows up.

But, he loves his family and he can cook a bit.
