Spaghetti Puttanesca
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for finishing
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 1/2 pound spaghetti
- 1 14 oz can chopped tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon red wine
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- Place a large pot of water over high heat. When the water is boiling add plenty of salt (salty water is essential to tasty pasta) then add the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the anchovies, breaking them up with a wooden spoon (they will eventually dissolve), then the garlic, saute for about a minute.
- Add the tomatoes, wine, olives, capers, and sugar, bring the sauce to a simmer, lower heat, and continue cooking until pasta is ready to meet it. Taste for salt; this sauce may not need any as the ingredients are already pretty salty.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce, continue cooking the spaghetti and the sauce for a few seconds, add a dash more olive oil, then half the chopped parsley.
- Serve the pasta in warm bowls garnished with the remaining parsley.
