The Essential Ingredients

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

• 1 pound dried spaghetti
• 1 (2-ounce) can anchovies packed in olive oil
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon capers with their brine
• 1 large jalapeño, chopped
• 1 pound fresh ripe tomatoes, large dice
• 6 to 8 kalamata olives, pitted and cut in half
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step 1: Cook Your Spaghetti

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your spaghetti according to the package directions.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

While the pasta is cooking, warm the oil from the anchovies in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the whole anchovies, garlic, and capers, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3: Add the Jalapeño and Tomatoes

Add the chopped jalapeño and cook for 1 minute, followed by the diced tomatoes and olives. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have softened slightly, about 3 minutes.

Step 4: Combine the Pasta and Sauce

When the spaghetti is al dente, drain and add it to the sauce. Use tongs to toss, adding some black pepper and 1 or 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and toss again.
