Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the mafalde pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the hand crushed tomatoes, olives, capers, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked mafalde pasta to the skillet, tossing well to coat the pasta with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
