Background

We all have days when there is nothing in the fridge to eat - on these occasions you stall can make a meal using cupboard products like this pasta with olives. Actually, this dish is quite popular in Southern Italy, where they like their pasta with a simple sauce.

Ingredients

200g pasta of your choice (gluten-free is ok too)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
1 tsp capers
1 Tbsp tomato purée
1 cup pitted green or black olives, drained (from jar)

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the packet’s instructions.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Slice the garlic, then heat the oil in a frying pan and fry it with the capers for a minute. Make sure the garlic doesn’t burn! Add the tomato purée, chilli (if used) and a few spoonful of the pasta’s cooking water. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes until you get a silky sauce. Stir in the olives for a minute, then turn off the heat.
Drain the pasta and mix with the sauce.
Serve immediately with Parmesan or plant-based grated cheese, if liked.
