Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Linguine

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add diced red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet along with capers and black olives. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Linguine and Sauce

    Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in fresh basil leaves, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
