Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Garlic and Capers
6 oz. spaghetti*
4 tsp. olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
2 Tbsp. drained rinsed capers
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid, and keep warm.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, capers and garlic; cook, stirring, until the tomatoes are softened, 3-4 minutes.

Add the spaghetti and cooking liquid; simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and pepper.

Makes 4 servings

*If you don't have spaghetti on hand, try this dish with any long pasta except capellini, the delicate strands will overcook when you add them to the tomato mixture
