Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1-2 cloves garlic (finely chopped or minced)
- 40 grape or cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt (more if desired)
- 1-2 pinches hot pepper flakes or black pepper (optional)
- ¼ cup fresh Italian parsley chopped
- 10-15 capers
- 3½-4 cups cooked pasta
EXTRAS
- 1-2 cups arugula
- 4-6 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese as desired
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water cook the pasta very al dente.
- In a large pan, add the olive oil, garlic, halved tomatoes, oregano, salt, hot pepper flakes and parsley, cook on medium heat until the tomatoes have just started to brown.
- Add the capers, cooked pasta and 3-4 tablespoons of pasta water, cook on high heat for approximately a minute stirring or tossing to combine continuously. Do not let the water completely disappear, you want a bit of a thick soupy sauce.
- Serve on arugula leaves and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- You will need about 2 1/2 cups of dried pasta.
- If you use capers in salt then rinse and drain well.
- If you wish you could use a short ridged pasta, or a long pasta such as spaghetti or even bucattini.
- Any leftover pasta should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to 2 days. It can be reheated in a pan with a little water or microwave.
