Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
- Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the olives.
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the capers, olives (start with ½ for both) and ¼ of the reserved cooking water; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and add the pasta, pesto, ⅔ of the spices and a pinch of salt.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Add ½ the cheese; stir well.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the baby greens, vinaigrette, remaining spices and S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta and salad between your plates.
- Garnish the pasta with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
