===============================================

INGREDIENTS:
400 g/14.1oz Fresh egg linguine pasta
2 garlic cloves, 1 per person, crushed
400 g/ 14.1oz peeled tomatoes
1 dozen Sicilian olives, or a handful, no need to measure!
1 tbsp capers
A fresh bunch of basil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, EVOO
Salt & Pepper

METHOD:
1) Bring a large pot of water to a boil then add 1 tablespoon of sea salt and allow it to dissolve. Drop in the pasta and cook for 2 minutes or until al dente, making sure to collect a mug of pasta water before you discard it!
2) In a medium pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of water and 4 to 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the grated or crushed garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until it starts to turn golden and fragrant.
3) Using your hands, gently crush the peeled tomatoes before adding them to the pan. Then use a potato masher to break them down further to help the sauce come together.
4) Add the capers and olives, then let everything cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to your preference and mix through. Add a splash of pasta water and stir quickly then transfer the cooked pasta straight into the pan with the sauce. Toss together well while adding more pasta water as needed.
5) Tear fresh basil leaves by hand and add them to the pan then give it one final toss, adding a little more pasta water if needed to thicken the sauce and create the right amount of creaminess.

HOW TO SERVE:
This pasta comes together in minutes, but take a moment to serve it with care. Twirl the pasta onto a flat plate so it looks as good as it tastes, than spoon over plenty of the rich sauce, making sure you get a good mix of olives and capers. Garnish it with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of pecorino, still keeping it simple but with an aim to impress.
