Spaghetti with Spicy Tomato Olive Sauce
Recipe courtesy Gourmet Magazine

Ingredients
1/2 cup brine-cured black olives, pitted and cut lengthwise into
slivers
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 (14 to 15-ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound spaghetti
Accompaniment: grated Parmesan

Instructions
Cook olives, garlic, and red pepper flakes in oil in a 12-inch nonstick
skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes
and salt and simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking up any large pieces of tomato, until sauce
is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti in a 6 to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until
al dente.

Drain spaghetti in a colander and add to sauce. Cook, tossing, over moderately low heat until pasta
is coated, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
