Tomato, olive and anchovy sauce

2 tins Italian plum tomatoes (whole)
1 clove garlic
50g tin of anchovies
100g pot of mixed, pitted, olives (marinated in something)
Handful flatleaf parsley
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Several grindings of pepper
Small pinch salt

Finely chop the garlic and very roughly chop the anchovies, olives and parsley.

Put everything in a pan including the marinade from the olives if it looks nice.  Slice through the tomatoes a few times with a sharp knife.

Simmer gently for 15 minutes only, stirring again gently regularly.  If you simmer olives for too long they release a bitter flavour.

I'm pretty sure this would be nice with thick freshly made pasta but I don't know how to make that!
