Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the raw Puttanesca sauce. Start by halving the cherry tomatoes and placing them in a large mixing bowl.
Roughly chop the black olives, capers, and anchovy fillets. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely mince the garlic and parsley, then stir them into the tomato mixture.
Drizzle the mixture with extra virgin olive oil, add the red chili flakes, and squeeze in the lemon juice. Season with salt (keeping in mind that the anchovies, capers, and olives are already salty) and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked linguine into the mixing bowl with the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
Transfer the linguine to serving plates and garnish with additional parsley or chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
