2 -8 garlic cloves, -depending on your garlic affection. i like lots
1 (2 oz) can anchovy
red chili pepper flakes
1 (32 oz) can whole tomatoes, chopped
12 black olives, crushed off the pit and chopped -get good ones , not bland

Directions:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, garlic, anchovies, and crushed pepper.
Saute until the anchovies dissolve into the oil and the garlic is tender. This only takes a few minutes.
Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers.
Simmer sauce a few minutes until slightly thickened (about 6-8 min or so) and add parsley and basil.

Toss sauce with pasta and serve.
