Instructions
- Place spaghetti in a large pot and cover with water. Add a small pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, combine 1/2 cup oil, garlic, anchovies, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat until garlic is very lightly golden, about 5 minutes. (Adjust heat as necessary to keep it gently sizzling.) Add capers and olives and stir to combine.
- Add tomatoes, stir to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer. Continue to simmer until pasta is cooked to just under al dente (about 1 minute less than the package recommends).
- Drain pasta through a colander, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Add drained pasta to skillet with sauce.
- Add a few tablespoons of pasta water to sauce and increase heat to bring pasta and sauce to a vigorous simmer. Cook, stirring and shaking the pan and adding more pasta water as necessary to keep sauce loose, until pasta is perfectly al dente, 1 to 2 minutes longer. (The pasta will cook slower in the sauce than it did in the water.) Stir in remaining olive oil, parsley, and cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper. (Be generous with the pepper and scant with the salt—the dish will be plenty salty from the other ingredients and Pecorino Romano is saltier than Parmesan.) Crumble in wild Alaska canned salmon and toss to warm. Serve immediately with more grated cheese at the table.
