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.
