Add canned tomatoes, olives, and capers; simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Drain the spaghetti, reserving some pasta water.

Add the drained spaghetti to the sauce; toss to combine.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.

Serve with grated parmesan cheese on top.
