Tomato & Caper Linguine

Here is an amazingly good recipe for so little effort. It's from Jamie Oliver. Dinner can be ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta.

400g linguine
olive oil
350g tomato passata
5 tbsp capers, rinsed
grated zest of 1/2 lemon
grated parmesan cheese

Cook linguine according to package directions.
Meanwhile, add a lug of olive oil to a medium saucepan on medium heat. Add the tomato passata, capers, and lemon zest and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
Drain linguine and toss with sauce to coat. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and extra lemon zest, if desired.

In the photo I cooked too much pasta so it looks a little pale.....the capers dropped to the bottom too. :)

  1. Looks yummy and easy, but I don 't know what tomato passata is?!

  2. Tomato passata are mashed tomatoes in a glass jar of about 700g or so. Italian grocery stores carry it for sure, like Renco, and I think I've seen it in the bigger stores. I like it better than tomato sauce for other things too.
