Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
12 ounces bucatini or spaghetti
1 small clove garlic
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound tomatoes, diced
2/3 cup pitted kalamata or nicoise olives, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, pile the garlic, 1 tablespoon capers and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board; mince, then mash with the flat side of a chef's knife to make a paste. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the olive oil, tomatoes, olives, the remaining 1 tablespoon capers and the butter. Stir in the basil and cheese.
  • Add the pasta to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss until the butter is melted, adding the reserved cooking water to moisten, if needed. Season with salt.

This dish was a disaster. The sauce was too salty and the bucatini was undercooked.

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the bucatini was mushy.

Not worth the effort. The sauce was too thin and the capers were too salty.

This dish was a hit at my dinner party! Everyone raved about the flavor of the sauce, and the bucatini was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.

Not bad, but not great. The sauce was a bit too oily for my taste, and the capers were a bit overpowering. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
