"This dish originated in the Quartieri Spagnoli neighborhood of Naples. It features an aromatic, tomato-based sauce made with garlic, black olives, capers, and anchovies that's traditionally served with spaghetti. She uses Penne pasta."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Bring water to the boil and add the pasta with a pinch of salt and cook until it's al dente.

Step 2

Drain (saving 1/2 cup water)

Step 3

Meanwhile, while pasta cooks, Loren uses a mortar and pestle to mash some garlic and anchovy filets together, but if you could also just finely chop them with a knife. I'm going to mix them up in food processor with the oil.

Step 4

Then, sauté that garlic and anchovy paste in some butter and oil in a skillet.

Step 5

Add chopped tomatoes, black olives and capers and let that all simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Then toss in the pasta and garnish with some fresh parsley.
