Spaghettini con Limone, Capperi, e Olive
By Mike_67
While this is one of the simplest of sauces, it is packed with flavor. The briny tang of olives and capers, combined with the tartness of lemon, provides an interesting foil to the mild nuttiness of pasta and the fruity olive oil. The sauce can be prepared up to a day in advance and left at room temperature to marinate (do not refrigerate it).
Ingredients
- 1/4 lb sharply flavored green olives
- grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/4 tbsp drained small capers
- 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme, or 1 tsp dried thyme
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- salt, to taste
- 1 lb spaghettini

Preparation
Step 1
Pit and chop the olives. Combine them with all the remaining sauce
ingredients in a serving bowl, adding ½ teaspoon of salt, or to taste.
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 1½tablespoons of salt and the spaghettini. Cook until al dente, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the water, and toss with the sauce in a serving bowl. If necessary, add a little cooking water to moisten the sauce so that it is evenly distributed. Serve immediately
