Cook 1 pound of spaghetti according to package directions. Place a skillet over low heat. Once it is warm, add the oil and the garlic. Cook garlic for 1 minute before adding the anchovies. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring continually. The anchovies should begin to dissolve. Add the olives, capers, parsley, and pepper flakes and toss to combine.
Pour in tomatoes and gently chop apart while stirring constantly. Let the mixture come to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Taste before seasoning with salt, and pour over the pasta.
