Recipe by Donna Hay The sweet and juicy tomatoes perfectly contrast with the salty caper berries and creamy ricotta in this super-simple spaghetti—it's my go-to when I need a quick meat-free weeknight dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 pounds cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1/3 cup store-bought pesto
  • 2 cups baby kale leaves
  • 1/3 cup caper berries
  • 1 cup fresh ricotta

Instructions

  1. Place the tomatoes, red wine vinegar, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and, using a fork, gently crush the tomatoes. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. While the tomato is marinating, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 8 –10 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta and place in a large bowl, add the pesto and toss to coat. Top with the tomato mixture, kale, caper berries, ricotta, salt and pepper to serve.
