300g dried linguine or spaghetti
sea salt and black pepper
3 tsp olive oil plus extra to drizzle
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 large red onion, peeled and chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
6-8 anchovies in oil, drained and finely chopped
200g pitted black olives, quartered or chopped
3 tsp capers, rinsed and drained
250g cherry tomatoes, halved
Handful of basil leaves, shredded
1. Add the pasta to a pot of boiling salted water and cook for 8–10 minutes or until al dente.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a wide pan and fry the garlic, onion, chilli and anchovies for 1–2 minutes. Add the olives, capers and tomatoes, and stir over a high heat for a few more minutes until the onions are soft.
3. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce and shredded basil. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt probably won’t be needed because the anchovies, capers and olives are quite salty).
4. Divide among warm bowls and drizzle over a little more olive oil, if you wish, before serving.

Mr. Ramsay
I think you are absolutely briliant. i used to watched your programmes in the UK. now I am back in Slovakia so it is not so easy as we don´t have any here with you in it, but i am glad I found at least this web site to see some of your "magic" in the kitchen. Hopefully I´ll get the chance to go back and buy another of your wonderfull cooking books.

Mr. Ramsay I live in London but could you also use ozs. in your dishes here as I am one of the older generation and I am not good with grams.
Thank you. You are doing a fantastic job and good luck in my old City, NY
Evelyn, London,
Mr Ramsay I live by myself and to pass the time after work I
try to cook something from one of your many TV programms
Thank you for endless fun!!!

Prep time 10 mins. Cook time 5 mins. Can we have a cookbook called 'Flash Gordon'...with GR on the cover in a skin tight outfit and a big frying pan logo on his chest?
May I have the first edition posted to me?
Helen, london,
Mr. Ramsay, Now you have an outlet in New York and your following is growing in this part of the world , could you also use ozs..we dont use grams over here...great stuff , thanks

Dear Gordon, you forgot to sprinkle with bread crumbs at the very end
(in the tossing step). Moreover, parsley is probably better than basil.
But hey, what do I know, I am italian. I think I will submit some tips
on how to play cricket in the near future.
