You come home at the last minute or you find yourself needing to cook something quickly with what you have in the fridge! For example, I always make sure to have olives, capers, oregano, and anchovies in oil as they are the base of many recipes, and with these ingredients and a bit more, you can easily put a deliciously dressed dish on the table with a Quick Pasta Sauce ready in 10 minutes, the time it takes to boil and cook the pasta.

Steps
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Place the frying pan on the stove, pour in the extra virgin olive oil, and add the chopped garlic clove, anchovy fillets, and capers. Let them sauté for a few minutes, avoiding drying them out. Add the cherry tomatoes, olives, and stir.
Add the tomato paste, oregano, and let it cook until the pasta is ready to be drained. Here the Quick Pasta Sauce is ready. I didn’t add salt as all the ingredients are quite salty.
