Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. (Spaghetti with capers and black olives) 10.02 spaghetti salt 1 tbsp pickled capers 20 large black olives, pitted 4 tbsp olive oil 1 red chili pepper 1 tbsp tomato paste Cook the spaghetti for 10-12min in plenty of boiling salted water.
  2. Squeeze the capers to remove excess vinegar, and chop finely.
  3. Place in a bowl with the quartered olives, the oil and the seeded, whole chili pepper.
  4. Add the tomato paste and mix with a spoon to produce a fairly smooth sauce.
  5. Drain the spaghetti when al dente and cover with the caper and olive sauce, stirring continually.
  6. Before serving remove the chili pepper which will have flavored the hot spaghetti.
  7. Do not serve cheese with this dish.
  8. This sauce may be made a few days in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
  9. Leave in a bowl and pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top of the sauce.
