Ingredients

1/2 box fettucine

2/3 cup pitted black olives

4 tomatoes

4 basil leaves, chopped

bunch parsley, chopped (same amount as basil)

1 red chili, seeded (optional:de-cored, for less heat) and roughly chopped

5 anchovies (optional, but recommended for a "sea" taste)

5 tablespoon capers

olive oil

salt and pepper

Directions

Put on a pot with water, add salt and some olive oil. Bring to a boil then add half a box of fettucine pasta. Let cook. In the mean time:

Put olives, capers, anchovies (optional - if you're not using them, use 3/4 cup olive oil and add some more salt), chili, basil and parsley in a food processor with 2/3 cup oil. Process slightly until the mixture is finely chopped.

Put on a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place tomatoes into boiling water for 30 seconds, then take off. Be careful while draining. Peel away the skins when cooled and dice.

Drain the pasta then add to a pan. Add the olive mixture to pan along with diced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Mix well and toss over a low heat for 1-2 minutes. SERVING SUGGESTION: Garnish with shavings of parmesan and basil leaves.
