  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, shallow, cast-iron/non-stick pan on high. Add the chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes turning occasionally until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. Wipe down the pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil on medium. Add anchovies and garlic and cook for a few seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add leek and cook for a minute until glazed.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes, passata/pasta sauce, olives, capers, chilli flakes, Italian Spice Mix and salt. Mix well and bring to a simmer on medium heat (approximately 6-8 minutes).
  5. Add cooked chicken, mix well and cook for a couple of minutes until piping hot. Add cooked spaghetti. Toss to coat pasta with sauce evenly.
  6. Garnish with parsley, extra olive slices and parmesan cheese. Squeeze lemon juice and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.
