Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Remember to salt the water generously to flavor the pasta.

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  3. Add the diced tomatoes, including the juice from the can, to the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. Toss in the capers and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes.

  5. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss the pasta in the flavorful sauce, ensuring it is well coated.

  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.

  7. Serve the Pasta Tomato Capers hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese for a decadent touch. Pair it with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
