Pasta Salad with Lemon Caper Sauce

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to packaged directions for al dente.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until translucent. Then add garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 3

Deglaze pan with white wine and then add the capers and lemon juice. Simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened. About 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the sauce cooks, add breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese to a sauté pan with a dab of butter. Constantly stir until breadcrumbs are browning. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Add a splash of heavy cream and simmer for another 5 minutes. Pour over the cooked pasta into the lemon-caper sauce and toss until combined. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes and Italian parsley.
