Servings: persons

1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons brown sugar (approx)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (approx)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (approx)
4 tablespoons red wine
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
some olive oil
spaghetti, enough for 2 people

1
Pour about 2T of olive oil in a deep frypan or wok, and on a very low heat, fry the first 5 ingredients (up to basil) for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant. Garlic burns very easily so the next step has to be ready to go.
2
Before garlic burns, pour in tomatoes and stir in, turning up the heat to medium.
3
Add next 5 ingredients (up to red wine), stir thoroughly, then bring to the boil. Check to see that the flavour is balanced between the salt, sugar and vinegar. it should have a bit of a kick - but if you can taste the sugar or vinegar quite strongly, adjust taste, very carefully. eg. if it tastes like vinegar, add another 1/4 t sugar.
4
Reduce to medium heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until reduced.
5
In the meantime, grate parmesan cheese, boil large saucepan of generously salted water (you don't need oil).
6
Boil pasta according to instructions - try not to touch it too much, and not to overcook it - bite-test it every 30 seconds when it gets close to the finish time. Pasta should be juicy and springy, not sticky and limp.
7
Drain pasta, toss with olive oil, then serve onto plates. Top with sauce, parmesan, and cracked pepper. Bon apetit!
