anchovies

🥗Healthier: canned tuna

💰Cheaper: sardines

Canned tuna provides a similar umami flavor while being more accessible.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: kalamata olives

Kalamata olives are often less expensive and add a different flavor profile.

1

Prepare the ingredients including spaghettone, garlic, anchovies, black olives, dried tomatoes, and parsley.

2

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

3

Add crushed garlic to the oil and sauté until it starts to dissolve, about 1-2 minutes.

4

Add chopped anchovies to the skillet and stir until they dissolve completely, creating a creamy sauce.

5

Boil salted water in a large pot and add the spaghettone, cooking for about 9 minutes until al dente.

6

While the pasta cooks, add black olives and dried tomatoes to the skillet with the garlic and anchovies.

7

Stir everything together and let it simmer, adding a bit of water if necessary to keep the sauce from drying out.

8

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the sauce.

9

Toss the pasta in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.

10

Finish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper before serving.
