Spaghetti Puttanesca
- 1 pound (455 grams) dried spaghetti, the best you can get
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 handful capers, soaked in water and drained
- 2 handfuls big black olives, pitted
- 12 anchovy fillets, roughly chopped
- 3 small dried red chiles, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 (14 ounce/400gram) cans tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 good handful fresh basil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Cook the spaghetti in salted, boiling water until al dente.
- Meanwhile fry the garlic, capers, olives, anchovies, chiles, and oregano in a little olive oil for a few minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and continue to cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until you have a lovely tomato sauce consistency.
- Remove from the heat, plunge the drained spaghetti into it, toss it over, and cover with the sauce.
- Rip all the basil over it, correct the seasoning, and drizzle with good extra-virgin olive oil.
