Makes about 3 cups<\/em><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons olive oil<\/p>\n

4 medium cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n

4 teaspoons minced anchovies (about 8 to 10 fillets; see Kitchen Note)<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes<\/p>\n

1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup black olives, such as Gaeta, Alphonso or kalamata, pitted and chopped coarsely<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup minced fresh parsley leaves<\/p>\n

3 tablespoons capers, rinsed<\/p>\n

Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Heat oil, garlic, anchovies and pepper flakes in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in undrained tomatoes and stir until lightly thickened, about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Stir olives, parsley and capers into the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

3. To store:<\/strong> Let sauce cool, uncovered at room temperature, for 25 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container(s) and refrigerate up to 4 days. Or transfer to airtight freezer containers in the portion size you’ll most likely use. Be sure to leave about \u00bd-inch headspace for expansion. Freeze up to 2 months.<\/p>\n

4. To serve:<\/strong> Defrost in refrigerator overnight. Warm sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat. This recipe makes enough for about \u00be to 1 pound pasta, and is also great for simmering pork, chicken and hearty white fish such as cod and halibut.<\/p>\n

Times Kitchen Note:<\/strong> Don’t omit anchovies, even if you’re not a fan. Their flavor doesn’t overwhelm the other ingredients, and they add a little thickening to the sauce.<\/p>\n
