Method

  1. Cook pasta following pack instructions. Drain, reserving a few tablespoons of water in the bottom of the pan.
  2. Return the pasta to the pan over a low heat, stir in the olive oil and garlic and allow to infuse for 1 min. Toss through the remaining ingredients, season and serve.
Try

A different pasta shape

Match your sauce with a suitable pasta shape. Smooth pastas, such as spaghetti and linguine, go best with light, thin sauces; pastas with holes or ridges, such as fusilli and penne, are better for chunkier sauces.

    Made this recipe as a sunny lunchtime meal to eat in the garden, it was lovely. Served it with a small side salad and a glass of white wine!

    Love this as an easy, quick meal. A great way to use up left over olives. I add last as my family dont like them but the do love this recipe. Also like with a nice cold glass of white wine!

    This is a brilliant recipe. The result pleasantly surprised me, given the simplicity of it. I didn't even use capers as I've never bought them before, but I will now and I'm looking forward to trying with them too.
