Ingredients

  • 360 g Lupin pasta
  • 240 g San Marzano tomatoes (DOP)
  • 6 Anchovy fillets
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 120 g Kalamata olives
  • 2 tbsp Capers
  • 88 ml Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 40 g Salt
  • ½ tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Parsley (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt heavily.
  2. Slice the garlic thin. Pit and roughly chop the olives.
  3. Crush the 240g of tomatoes by hand. Chop the parsley.
  4. Warm the oil with garlic in a skillet over medium-low until pale gold.
  5. Add the anchovies and stir until they melt into the oil.
  6. Tip in the tomatoes, olives, capers, and chilli. With less tomato than a full tin, it thickens to coat rather than stew — simmer about 6 minutes, just until it clings.
  7. Cook the lupin pasta 5 minutes — one minute shy of the pack's 6. It goes soft fast, so drain it early rather than late.
  8. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
  9. Toss the pasta in the sauce off heat for a minute, loosening with pasta water until glossy.
  10. Plate and shower with parsley.
