Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup drained capers
  • 3 anchovy fillets, minced
  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes (1 1/4 pounds), chopped
  • 3/4 cup chopped pitted green olives (5 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 3/4 lb short pasta
  • 1/3 cup chopped basil
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mash the capers with the anchovies, heirloom tomatoes, green olives, olive oil and crushed red pepper until a chunky sauce forms.
