- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chilli flakes, cooking until fragrant.
- Stir in tinned tomatoes, olives, capers, and anchovies (if using), simmering for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- While the sauce simmers, cook the tagliatelle according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
- Toss the cooked tagliatelle in the sauce, ensuring each strand is beautifully coated.
- Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Optional: sprinkle with chilli flakes for an extra kick.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of chilli flakes to suit your taste for spice. Adding anchovies introduces a depth of flavour, but the dish remains delightful without them for a vegetarian option.
