A few weeks back I watched Nigella cook this dish on her should "Nigella Kitchen" and she made hers very spicy, I'm talking chilli flakes, green chillies, red chillies and jalapeno peppers that where sliced and diced to be mixed with tomato goodness. The the pasta water seemed to take an unusually long time to heat up and then once it did the steam it created was really impressive, by the time I had the pasta cooking the sauce was already done to I had to stand they slowly stirring the sauce while I cooked the pasta as quickly as possible. We didn't have as many olives as hoped for because since we bought them until the time I actually made the spaghetti SOMEONE had been eating them.
In the end there wasn't enough sauce to cover all the pasta but we where that hungry and it tasted that good it didn't matter.
An absolute ripper dish this one, pasta with a "kick"!
