Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained, and coarsely chopped
3 anchovy fillets, minced
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata or other brined black olives, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups tomato puree (from a 15-ounce can)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound spaghetti

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add grape tomatoes, capers, anchovies, olives, and garlic; cook until fragrant and tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes. Add tomato puree and season with salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes (sauce will be separated).
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta and add to sauce, tossing to combine and adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
