Boil the pasta for half of the time indicated on the package.

Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the garlic, the tomato purée, and then, the olives, and the capers. Continue cooking over medium heat.

When the pasta is half-cooked, transfer it to the pan and continue cooking there, adding a little of the water where they cooked.

Stir and wait a few minutes until it’s ready. Taste and add salt if necessary (the capers are quite salty, so don’t skip the tasting part!).

Serve with pepper and crushed red pepper.
