Spaghetti Puttanesca

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, in a wide pan, gently heat the olive oil, garlic and anchovies. Sizzle gently for 2 minutes, encouraging the anchovies to melt into the oil with a few stirs, then add the tomato purée and cook for 1 minute until it turns a burnished, golden red.

Add the tomatoes and olives, partially cover, and turn up the heat. Bubble hard for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and is rich and tasty.

When ready, drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the sauce with 2 tbsp reserved water and mix well. Season, then toss a handful of the basil into the pan. Divide between plates then finish with the capers, extra basil and a drizzle of oil.
