Before you start
Large saucepan with a lid on a medium heat | Kettle boiled | Fine grater or Microplane
First make the tomato sauce
- Peel and thinly slice the red onion
- Peel and grate the garlic
- Pour the olive oil into the saucepan
- Add the sliced onion and salt and fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent
- Add the garlic to the pan, stir it in and cook for a further 2 minutes
- Add the tomatoes and stir them around for 2 minutes, until the skins start to split
- Sprinkle over the chilli flakes and pour in the wine, stirring to coat the tomatoes
Cook the spaghetti
- Pour the boiling water into the pan
- Add the spaghetti, let it soften and then move it around with tongs in the pan until it's well submerged
- Put the lid on the pan, turn up the heat and bring to the boil
- Take off the lid and cook at a rolling boil for 10-12 minutes, moving the pasta in the water fairly often to ensure it cooks evenly (it's easiest to do this with tongs)
Finish the pasta
- When most of the starchy water has been absorbed by the pasta, taste to make sure it's cooked to your liking
- Quickly slice the olives and stir them through the pasta
Time to serve
- Divide among bowls, drizzle with olive oil and grind over some black pepper
- Garnish with the basil leaves and serve
