For the Pasta
ingredients
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/2 cup castelvetrano olives, pitted and roughly chopped

Method
Step 1
To make the breadcrumbs, add bread to a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add butter and olive oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, and breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Cook for a few minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a bowl, set aside and wipe out the skillet.
Step 2
To make the pasta: Add tomatoes with juices to a large bowl and gently crush with your hands until broken down. Set aside.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, then drop in pasta and cook about 2 minutes less than package directs.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the sauce by heating olive oil in the large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Add anchovies and cook a few minutes until bubbly and slightly thickened. Add pasta and toss to combine with sauce. Add about 1/4 cup pasta water and continue to toss the pasta until sauce thickens again and coats the pasta.
Step 5
Add butter and toss until sauce is glossy. Remove from heat and stir in fresh herbs. Divide into bowls and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
