Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound heirloom tomatoes, or a combination of beefsteak and cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped (3 cups total)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 cup crushed and pitted green olives, such as Castelveltrano
1/3 cup brine-packed capers, drained and coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces short pasta, such as mezzi rigatoni, cavatappi, or gemelli
1 ounce Pecorino Romano, grated (1/2 cup packed), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, oil, olives, capers, and garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Add pasta to bowl with tomatoes; add reserved pasta water and cheese. Toss well to combine, creating a silky sauce. Remove garlic; serve with more cheese and pepper and a drizzle of oil.

This pasta dish is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! The no-cook sauce comes together in minutes, and the briny, garlicky flavor is absolutely delicious. I added a handful of chopped Kalamata olives for extra umami, and it was perfect. Will definitely
