Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Finely chop the onion, then peel and thinly slice the garlic too.

  2. Step 2

    Sautée both the onion and garlic in a high-edged casserole pan with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, cook until the onion becomes soft and loses colour.

  3. Step 3

    Add the chopped anchovies to the mix and stir with a wooden spoon. Then add the tomato sauce and a little boiling water.

  4. Step 4

    Cook the sauce for 15 minutes, semi-covered with the pan’s top. Add the olives and capers, then reduce the sauce by cooking it a little more with no lid. Add a sprinkle of oregano and a little chilli, adjust with salt.

    Add the sauce to the spaghetti (cooked “al dente”) and serve with a final touch of olive oil.
