1 tsp olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, chopped, 1 small red chilli, seeded and chopped,
2 × 400 g tins chopped tomatoes, 125 g black olives in brine, pitted and chopped, 2 tbs capers, rinsed and drained, 1 large handful basil, shredded, 1 tsp sugar, 200 g tin herring fillets in tomato sauce, 500 g spaghetti, shredded basil, extra, to serve, grated Parmesan, to serve

Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan. Add the garlic and chilli and cook briefly for 1 minute without browning. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers, basil and sugar. Stir well and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until thick and reduced. Stir through the fish to break up a little. Season with pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and return to the saucepan. Toss through the sauce. Divide between 4 plates, top with basil and Parmesan and, if you like, serve with a salad.
