YIELD: _{4 SERVINGS} TOTAL TIME: _{20 MINUTES MAX!}

INGREDIENTS:

3 tbsp olive oil

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 lb can diced tomatoes

2 - 3 tablespoons capers

1 cup pitted olives, diced and drained

2 2.5 oz cans anchovies

2 tablespoons fresh parsley

1 lb whole wheat linguine

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2. While pasta cooks, in a non-stick skillet add the oil, and garlic. Let the garlic cook for about 1 minute or until lightly browned.  Add tomatoes, capers, and olives. Cook over medium to high heat for about 8 minutes.
3. Add anchovies and half the parsley. Cook for a further 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken. (I normally add 1/2 teaspoon of corn starch, I like my sauce even thicker)
4. Add cooked pasta and remaining parley and mix through with the sauce.
5. Serve while hot.
