Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan.
Add the onion, season lightly with salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes, wine, clove and bay leaf and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and very little liquid remains, about 1 hour. Discard the bay leaf and the clove (if you can find it). Pass the sauce through a food mill or puree it in a food processor and transfer to a clean saucepan.
Heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil in a small saucepan.
Add the garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the olives and capers and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the mixture to the tomato sauce along with the chopped herbs. Season with pepper.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
Drain and transfer to a serving dish.
Add the sauce, toss to coat and serve at once.
