Summary

A bright, briny, and herbaceous pasta tossed with capers, olives, artichokes, and pesto, finished with pine nuts and fresh basil for a fragrant Mediterranean finish.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large saucepan or wok over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add 1 tbsp oil, the sliced onion, garlic, red pepper, mushrooms, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Cook 5–10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Add capers, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and 1/2 cup water. Mix well and cook about 5 minutes to reduce the liquid, leaving a little in the pan.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Cook the linguine according to package directions. Drain well.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked pasta, pesto, remaining 1 tsp salt, and ground pepper to the pan; toss well to coat.

  7. 7

    Top with pine nuts and fresh basil, crack additional pepper over top if desired, and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil before serving.

    Optional: For extra depth, add 4 cloves sliced black garlic when adding the pesto.
