- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Tip in the tomatoes, capers, anchovies, olives and chilli. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened slightly.
- Cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions. Drain, toss with the sauce and the parsley and serve.
Low Gi
Regular spaghetti has a fantastically low Gi rating, so enjoy this dish with a clear conscience. The tangy capers provide acid, which lowers the Gi even more.
