Savory Anchovy and Olive Herb Medley Pasta

Ingredients

- 8 anchovy fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup jarred pasta sauce
- 1 cup green olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Finely chop the anchovy fillets, basil, chives, and parsley. Slice the green olives. Set all ingredients aside for easy access.

2. Saute the Anchovies:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it heat for about 1 minute until it shimmers. Add the chopped anchovy fillets and sauté for 3 minutes until they begin to dissolve.

3. Add the Sauces and Olives:
Stir in the jarred pasta sauce, tomato sauce, sliced green olives, and capers. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Incorporate Herbs and Spices:
Add the chopped basil, chives, parsley, and oregano to the skillet. Stir gently to integrate the herbs throughout the sauce.

5. Simmer the Medley:
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to the desired consistency.

6. Final Adjustments:
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the saltiness from anchovies and olives. Serve the sauce over your choice of cooked pasta and garnish with additional herbs.
