What is Whole wheat pasta with capers?
Whole wheat pasta with capers combines hearty pasta made from whole-grain wheat with capers, the brined flower buds that bring a sharp, salty tang to Mediterranean cooking. It is an easy pasta dish rather than a fixed traditional recipe, and can be dressed simply with olive oil, garlic, lemon or herbs.
Serve it warm for lunch or dinner, or enjoy leftovers cold as a pasta salad. The whole-grain pasta contributes fibre—4 g per 100 g—while capers add plenty of flavour without needing a rich sauce.
