Sun-dried tomatoes are a powerhouse of concentrated flavor, yet they’re often used as just an accent. Here, they take center stage as the base of a bold sauce blended with briny capers and fresh parsley for brightness. The result is a deeply savory pasta that’s effortlessly delicious. Toss in creamy mozzarella (or even burrata!) for the perfect contrast, and enjoy this dish warm, at room temp, or straight from the fridge—it’s just that good.

-
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed very well
-
14.81-ounce jar sun-dried tomatoes, including the oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus extra for garnishing
- 8 ounces mozzarella ciliegine pearls, drained and quartered
-
1 pound pasta, such as casarecce
Instructions
In the bowl of a food processor or a blender, add the rinsed capers, sun-dried tomatoes and oil and parsley. Pulse until finely chopped but not completely smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add the sun-dried tomato and caper mixture to a large serving bowl.
- Meanwhile, heat a large pot of salted water over high heat. Once boiling, cook the pound of pasta until al dente. Using a pasta spider or slotted spoon, transfer the cooked pasta directly to the bowl. Toss the pasta and sauce together until well combined, adding any pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce. Toss with the mozzarella ciliegine pearls. Top with the extra parsley and serve. This pasta can be enjoyed warm, room temperature or cold.
