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. Heat the oil in a nonreactive large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, stir, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the hot oil to turn the garlic pale gold, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, capers, olives, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and black pepper, return to medium-low heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed. Reduce the heat to very low. Cook the spaghetti in plenty of well-salted, boiling water until al dente; drain. Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, sprinkle on the fresh parsley, and serve.
