8 ripe Plum tomatoes (blanched, peeled and chopped)

4 ounces extra virgin olive oil

8 large cloves of peeled garlic (crushed)

1 cup pitted Siclian olives

½ cup unsalted capers

4 anchovy filets

¼ cup chopped Italian parsley

1 teaspoon chili flakes

1 pound of spaghetti

In a 14-16 inch sauté pan heat the olive oil at medium heat, add crushed garlic and continue cooking at medium heat until garlic is browned. Add the anchovies and stir with spoon, crushing anchovy fillets making a paste in the sauté pan. Continue this process until anchovy fully melts into olive oil.

Now add the tomatoes, Sicilian olives, and chopped parsley to the olive oil, garlic and anchovy mixture. Stir the mixture until all of the ingredients are integrated. Put the spaghetti into the boiling pasta water and follow cooking instructions instructions on the package; I like to cook the pasta for a minute less then suggested on the package to insure the pasta is al dente.

Continue to cook the sauce at medium to high heat for four to five minutes. Add salt, freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes to taste. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the sauté pan, and toss several times until spaghetti is nicely covered with sauce. With a pair of tongs, put some spaghetti in each service bowl. Spoon the remaining sauce on top of each serving. Finish each plate with a touch of chopped parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

About Oddero

Oddero Winery was founded in 1878 in the area of Santa Maria, a Hamlet of La Morra. It is definitely one of the oldest producers of Barolo, a family that kept the distinctive traditional style of wine making for over a century. Over the generations, the Oddero family has gradually expanded its vineyards to today’s impressive 60 hectares, many of which lie in the illustrious Barlolo vineyards of Brunate, Rocche di Castiglione, Villero, and Mondoca.
