Ingredients

2 anchovies, chopped
a pinch (optional) chilli flakes
1 tbsp nonpareille capers
8 black olives, stoned and sliced
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
4 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
such as riccioli 100g short pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
a handful of leaves basil
200-400ml vegetable or chicken stock

Method

STEP 1
Put everything except the stock in a small pan with a small pinch of salt, and a good grind of black pepper.
STEP 2
Add enough stock to just cover the pasta: how much will depend on how big the pan is. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-12 minutes, stirring the pasta occasionally to coat in the sauce.
STEP 3
Simmer until the pasta is tender and the liquid reduced to a sauce. Serve with more basil if you like.
