Angel Hair Pasta with Artichokes, Olives, Tomatoes, and Capers

Angel Hair Pasta with Artichokes, Olives, Tomatoes, and Capers

I was craving a light pasta for dinner so I looked in the cupboard to see what I had on hand. I found artichoke hearts, black olives, grape tomatoes, capers, garlic, and basil so I tossed them together with angel hair pasta, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. This dish was light, flavorful, and a huge hit with all of us. My son especially loved it and had two servings. It took only minutes to make and paired nicely with the Crusty French BreadI recently made.
