Method

  1. Boil large pot of salted water and place fettucine in.
  2. In a frying pan on a medium heat put a generous amount of olive oil, anchovies, chillis, onion, and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes, until onion has softened and anchovies have melted into the sauce, while this is happening quickly muddle the olives in a mortar and pestle, before adding them and the capers to the frypan. Cook for another couple of minutes before adding the can of tomatoes and reduce till sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Drain pasta, add the dried oregano to sauce, add pasta to sauce and combine with sauce, add fresh shredded basil at last minute and serve in warm bowls with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
