1

Rinse the parsley, remove the stems, and chop the leaves very thin.

2

Cut the cherry tomatoes into squares.

3

Crush the garlic clove, remove the skin and the central shoot for digestibility.

4

Boil water with salt in a pot, covering it with a lid to speed up the boiling process.

5

In a large pan, pour about 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and add the crushed garlic to flavor the oil for a few minutes.

6

Add the chopped cherry tomatoes and a pinch of salt to help them release their moisture and form a tomato cream.

7

Add the chopped parsley and the cleaned anchovies to the pan, mixing gently.

8

Add black olives to the pan after a few minutes.

9

Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti, following the cooking times indicated on the package (about 10-11 minutes).

10

Add black pepper or red chili if desired.

11

Drain the spaghetti with tongs when cooked, leaving it slightly undercooked (al dente).

12

Add a ladle of cooking water to the pan for creaminess and mix everything together for about a minute to enhance the flavors.

13

Twirl a portion of spaghetti with tongs and place it on a plate, adding some tomatoes and olives as decoration.

14

Garnish the dish with parsley and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
