Ingredients

  • 1 package Dreamfields Linguine
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 large cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red chile peppers
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, rinsed and cut in half
  • 1 can (28-ounces) Italian plum tomatoes, chopped with juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley leaves
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese


Directions

  1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and onion for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add peppers, capers, olives, chopped tomatoes and parsley. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  4. Toss pasta with sauce until linguine is evenly coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Notes:

Fragrant red ripe Italian plum tomatoes give this sauce its wonderful flavor. The red peppers balance the tart and sweet tomatoes with a little heat.
