£2.70/kgNo wonder it’s a classic – this storecupboard hero is high on flavour, and low on effort. You could make a double batch of sauce while you’re cooking (just use a large pan, scoop out half, cool and freeze) making next time even more of a breeze.
This recipe costs under £2 a portion when using store-cupboard ingredients you already have at home.

Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 10 minutes, until tender.
While cooking, heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute more. Add the olives, tomatoes, tomato purée, dried herbs, sugar and chopped oregano and simmer for about 8 minutes until thickened and pulpy.
Drain the spaghetti, leaving a little of the pasta water clinging so it’s not completely dry. Add to the sauce and stir in. Transfer to shallow bowls and scatter with the cheese and oregano leaves. Serve drizzled with a little extra oil.
The small amount of anchovies filling the olives adds a little richness to the sauce without being overpowering. For a vegetarian alternative, or if you don’t like anchovies, use 150g pitted black or green olives instead.
