Directions
- Cook spaghetti till al dente in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Drain pasta, dress with a little oil, and reserve.
- Meanwhile, drain tomatoes and cut them crosswise, squeezing out as much liquid as possible; reserve.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet, saute/fry garlic and red pepper flakes quickly to release flavor. Quickly add in tomatoes and reserved juice so pepper flakes and garlic do not burn. Bring to a boil.
- Simmer sauce and add in oregano, olives, capers, and anchovies, one ingredient at a time.
- Reduce and continue simmering till desired consistency and flavor are reached. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately over warm spaghetti. Garnish with basil.
