- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the garlic and crushed chillies. Cook for 1 min, then add the capers and anchovies. Cook for a further 3-5 mins, until the anchovies have melted into the oil.
- Add the tomatoes and break them up with a wooden spoon. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and add the olives and most of the parsley.
- While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti to pack instructions.
- Drain the spaghetti and add to the pan with the sauce. Toss well to fully coat the pasta. Divide between 4 plates. Garnish with the remaining parsley and grated Parmesan, if using.
