A quick and flavorful way to enjoy classic Italian flavors, perfect for a satisfying dinner!

1

Begin by boiling water in a large pot for cooking the spaghetti. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the noodles.

2

While the water is heating up, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes (with juices) to the skillet, stirring well. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to package directions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente.

5

After the sauce has simmered, add 2 tablespoons of capers and 1 cup of sliced black olives to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.

6

Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.

7

Add the drained spaghetti directly to the sauce, tossing everything together. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to loosen it as needed.

8

Finish with 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley for freshness. Serve immediately.
