Add the red wine and balsamic vinegar, reduce for a minute.
Add the tomato, olives, capers and red chili flakes, simmer on medium to low heat.
While sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta per instructions, about 1 – 1.5 minutes.
When pasta is finished, transfer to the sauce and mix until sauce adheres to pasta. Season to taste.
To plate, evenly divide pasta and sauce onto plates. Top with basil and Romano cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
Remove anchovy for a completely vegetarian sauce. (egg in pasta dough).
You can use all balsamic instead of red wine with a sweeter tangier sauce.
