READY IN

15 minutes

COOKING TIME

15 minutes

PREP TIME

10 minutes (while pasta cooks)

SERVES

Serves 2

ingredients

  • 160g Sanmarti Catalan Spaghetti
  • 7 x Anchovies
  • 2 tbsp Arbequina Olive Oil
IN STOCK
  • 1 x clove of garlic
  • 1/2 tin Perello Gordal Olives
IN STOCK
  • 1/4 jar Caperberries
IN STOCK
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Handful of Basil
  • Toasted breadcrumbs

METHOD

  1. Put the spaghetti on to boil. The sauce should only take the time it takes for the pasta to boil.
  2. Roughly chop 6 or 7 anchovies and gently fry with 2 or 3 tablespoons of the oil from the tin and a grated or finely chopped clove of garlic.
  3. After a couple of minutes, add a big handful of sliced olives and some chopped caperberries or capers along with a big squeeze of tomato puree and some lemon zest.
  4. Once the pasta has cooked, add it to the sauce along with a ladle of the pasta water and stir to coat thoroughly.
  5. Add some roughly torn basil leaves and some toasted breadcrumbs if desired.

 

Sit-down, pour a glass of wine and tuck in to a comforting bowl of flavour!
