Ingredients:


1/4 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic -- minced

35 ounces peeled Italian plum tomatoes - seeded -- drained and roughly chopped

1 tablespoon capers -- well rinsed

2/3 cup oil-cured black olives pitted and roughly chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon salt -- to taste

1 pound spaghetti

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
 

Preparation / Directions:


Heat the oil in a nonreactive large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, stir, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the hot oil to turn the garlic pale gold, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, caper olives, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and black pepper, return to medium-low heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed. Reduce the heat to very low. Cook the spaghetti in plenty of well-salted, boiling water until al dente; drain. Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, sprinkle on the fresh parsley, and serve.
