How to make Store cupboard pasta recipe - Magasin placard pâtes recette

SERVES 4

Ingredients:

12oz (350g) dried penne or pasta of your choice

1 tbsp olive oil

3 tsp capers, rinsed and gently squeezed dry

handful of black olives, pitted

6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped (reserve a little of the oil, optional)

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1 Cook the pasta as the package directs, until it is tender yet still firm to the bite. Drain, reserving a small amount of the cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot and toss together with the reserved cooking water.

2 Meanwhile, in another pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the capers, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes, and cook gently for about 5 minutes, mashing them slightly with the back of a fork.

3 Scrape the mixture into the cooked pasta, and toss until evenly mixed. Add a little of the reserved oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Season well with salt and pepper, and serve at once.
