Instructions

Prep all of your ingredients and have them ready before you turn the stove on, because this recipe goes very fast.
In a wide, shallow deep skillet, add the water and turn the burner on high heat. Add in all of the rest of your ingredients, except the lemon wedges and extra parsley for garnish, and bring to a boil. Stir with tongs to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
16 ounces linguini, 5 cups water, ¼ cup capers, ½ cup black olives, 2 cups cherry tomatoes, 3 cloves garlic, ¼ cup parsley, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Continue to cook on high heat for 8-9 minutes, stirring and tossing with the tongs frequently.
Taste the pasta to see if it is done. Once the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid is gone, turn off the heat. Serve immediately with a splash of fresh lemon juice and extra fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Lemon wedges and fresh parsley

Notes

This is really best served immediately. If it sits out too long, it will stick together, because of all the starchy water.

You can substitute 1 tablespoon dried parsley for the fresh parsley.

Pasta Substitutions: Feel free to use other types of long pasta that take about 9 minutes to cook, like spaghetti or bucatini.

Can I use gluten-free pasta? No. Gluten-free pasta will get mushy in this recipe. I don't recommend using it for this recipe.
