This recipe was given to me by my sister one night when I had vegetarian guests coming over and couldn’t figure out what to make. Her description: “It’s meaty!”. And it is indeed meaty-tasting, truly delicious, easy, and can be made from regular ingredients in your pantry (if you have the kind of pantry that always stocks capers and olives).
Instructions
- 1Saute onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until soft but not brown. Add oregano, vinegar, capers, tomatoes and olives and cook at a low simmer for 15 minutes. Toss with pasta and cheese.
