Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 5-8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the water for later use.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat ¼ cup of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the anchovies and capers, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the capers turn brown.

Step 3

Add the remaining ¼ cup of oil, olives, garlic, green onions, and red pepper flakes, and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, until the garlic turns golden.

Step 4

Add the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then add the pasta and toss to combine. Drain the pasta if it seems too dry. Season with salt to taste. Mix in the basil leaves.
