- 2 TBSP Italian parsley, chopped

Pasta pot, saucepan or skillet (we use a large non-stick wok) large enough to fit all ingredients. METHOD:
- SET the pasta water to boil. SET aside some of the olives, parsley and capers as a garnish.
- IN a deep pan lightly brown the garlic in hot oil. Add anchovies, crush to a paste with a fork.
- ADD the tomatoes, olives, capers and the chili, cook over medium high heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- ADD parsley and cook for a couple minutes more.
- COOK the pasta. Drain well.
- IN the pan, or in a warm serving bowl, put the cooked and drained pasta, add the sauce, and mix thoroughly. Some like to add a sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley at this point.
- Cheese is not usually served with this dish.
