How to Make Spaghetti In Red Sauce With Mixed Olives

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  3. Add sliced olives and red pepper flakes to the pan. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  6. Add the spaghetti to the sauce in the pan. Toss to coat completely.
  7. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
