SPAGHETTI WITH CHILLI, GARLIC AND CAPERS
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
220g Barilla spaghetti
2 long red chilis (de-seed if you don’t like heat) finely sliced
2 cloves garlic finely sliced
2 tablespoons capers
Juice of ½ lemon
Big pinch salt
¾ cup finely grated parmesan
2 cups rocket leaves
Method
Cook pasta as per packet instructions
In a frying pan add 2 tablespoons of good quality olive oil along with the chili and garlic on a low heat. It’s important not to have the pan too hot as we only gently soften the garlic and chili not brown or burn. Turn heat off when garlic has softened and add capers, lemon juice and salt.
When pasta is ready, move the pasta into the pan with the sauce along with a splash of the pasta water. Mix well so the sauce is all the way through the pasta. Add the parmesan and rocket leaves and stir through, serve immediately.
