A lovely combination of flavors — acidity (tomato), salt (anchovy) and a good kick from the l’arrabbiatella pasta. This shows you don’t need much to make an exceptionally tasty pasta. A nice bonus with homemade pasta sauces: they’re often even better the next day. So feel free to make extra 😉
1. Finely chop the garlic and shallot and quarter the tomatoes. Cut the anchovies into small pieces and slice the olives into rings.
2. Sauté the shallot and garlic in a little oil in the pan. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir until the tomatoes soften and break down. Now add the oregano and passata di pomodoro. Let everything simmer gently for about 10 minutes on low heat.
3. Meanwhile cook the pasta al dente and grate the cheese. Add the olives and anchovies to the sauce and warm through. Serve pasta & sauce with plenty of grated cheese. Enjoy your meal!

This dish is a real flavor bomb thanks to the combination of savory anchovies, salty olives and a rich tomato sauce. The l’arrabbiatella pasta gives a lovely bite and soaks up the sauce perfectly.
Serve generously with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano for a polished, authentic Italian finish. Lovely with a glass of dry red wine.
