Gluten-Free Spaghetti With Garlic, Tomatoes, Pimento Stuffed Olives and Capers

 

This dish is so seriously quick and easy to make, we rustle it up most weeks ( I eat it without the cheese but my husband loves it with).

Simply prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking and you can opt for any kind of pasta here from gluten free white spaghetti (my kids’ fave) to brown rice spaghetti, wholewheat and even courgetti if you fancy a low carb option.

I love how fresh this dish tastes, the addition of the capers gives the pasta a tremendous zestiness that works beautifully with the olives and tomato sauce.

Enjoy!
