Start by boiling water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt once it's boiling.

2

Toss in the spaghetti and cook it according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes until al dente.

3

While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

4

Pour in the salsa, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.

Add the olives to the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6

Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it, reserving a bit of the pasta water.

Combine the spaghetti into the pan with the sauce, tossing to coat well. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water.

Serve immediately, sprinkling parmesan cheese and torn basil over the top.
