Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound heirloom tomatoes, or a combination of beefsteak and cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped (3 cups total)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 cup crushed and pitted green olives, such as Castelveltrano
1/3 cup brine-packed capers, drained and coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces short pasta, such as mezzi rigatoni, cavatappi, or gemelli
1 ounce Pecorino Romano, grated (1/2 cup packed), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, oil, olives, capers, and garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Add pasta to bowl with tomatoes; add reserved pasta water and cheese. Toss well to combine, creating a silky sauce. Remove garlic; serve with more cheese and pepper and a drizzle of oil.

This recipe was a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the pasta was overcooked.

I found the sauce to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil, or draining the oil from the anchovies before adding them to the sauce.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt, or omitting it altogether.

I'm not a fan of olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. The sauce was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with olives.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but I actually liked them in this sauce. They added a nice depth of flavor.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The sauce was flavorful and tangy, and the capers and olives added a nice briny touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
