Total Time25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 28 oz can crushed plum tomatoes .
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed with the side of your knife
  • 5 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
  • 1/4 heaping cup kalamata olives, chopped (I used 16 Trader Joe's olives)
  • 2 tbsp capers drained
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • pinch of sugar (about 1/8 tsp)
  • 1/4 tsp each kosher salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook pasta of choice according to package directions and drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes in olive oil over medium-low heat until garlic is slightly browned and anchovies start to break down into a paste, about 2 minutes. 
  • Add in tomatoes and increase heat to medium-high. Cook down for about 10 minutes, then add in olives, capers, sugar, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for about 5 more minutes, until sauce is thickened. 
  • Serve with your favorite pasta.

WW Freestyle SmartPoints: 2 SP for 1/4 of the recipe, which is about 2/3 cup. I like to cook my pasta with the sauce a bit so that it all melds together. Adjust points depending on which kind of pasta and how much you use.
