Ingredients

Para la salsa

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium brown onion in small cubes
  • 1 bayleaf
  • 2 garlic cloves sliced thinly
  • 8 artichoke hearts canned
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 100 ml white wine
  • 300 g passata
  • 100 g black olives sliced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 40 g capers

For the pasta

  • 300 g spaghetti or other pasta you prefer

Instructions

For the sauce

  • Place a pan over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Also, add the onion and bayleaf. Cook the onion until it smells sweet and becomes translucent.
  • Add the garlic cloves and cook them for a minute.
  • Add the artichoke hearts and cook them for a minute.
  • Add the tomato paste and white wine and mix. Let the liquid evaporate completely.
  • Add the passata and olives and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce thicken; this should take about 5 minutes.
  • Adjust the level of salt and pepper.
  • At the very last moment add the capers and mix them in.

For the pasta

  • Cook the pasta in boiling water with plenty of salt.
  • It takes about 7-8 minutes for it to become al dente.
  • Remove the pasta from the water and transfer it to the pan with the sauce. Mix them up and serve.
