Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce, capers, and sliced olives. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the spaghetti evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Stir in the fresh basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine and remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the spaghetti warm, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
