1 kg fresh tomatoes
10 anchovy fillets in oil, drained

pinch of chilli flakes
250ml olive oil

Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Slice the tomatoes horizontally into thirds. Cover the bottom of an ovenproof baking dish with a layer of the sliced tomatoes.

Drain the spaghetti and place on a large serving platter. Spoon the baked tomatoes over the spaghetti, along with all the juices in the dish. Sprinkle with parsley, toss well and serve. Serves 4-6
