4 servings
- 12 oz gluten free spaghetti
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for pasta water
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes
Ingredient noteTomatoes themselves are not on the candida avoid list; canned tomatoes are limited only for their natural sugars. This recipe works out to about 3/4 cup of canned tomatoes per serving — a full portion rather than a trace, but still likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid canned tomatoes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp capers, drained
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the gluten free spaghetti and cook according to the package directions until just al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining, then drain the spaghetti through a colander.

While the pasta cooks, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the anchovy fillets and cook, stirring, for about 1–2 minutes until they dissolve completely into the oil.
