- 800 grams crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 cup green olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, black olives, green olives, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the chopped fresh basil to the sauce and stir to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
Transfer the spaghetti mixture to a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the spaghetti, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
