Recipe View Continue to toss the pasta and sauce together until the pasta is heated through and evenly coated, about 1 minute. If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

For a richer flavor, use whole peeled tomatoes and crush them by hand.
Add a splash of dry white wine to the sauce after the garlic and anchovies for added depth.
If you don't have anchovies on hand, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce can be used as a substitute.
Serve immediately and top with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

    The sauce was so flavorful and came together so quickly. My family loved it!

    I added a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes and it was perfect.
