Santorini is such a glorious holiday destination. With all its wonderful fresh produce, including glorious tomatoes, magnificent capers, and preservative-free wine, it really is a foodie haven, and one well worth recreating in your kitchen. If you’re worried about what it’s like to travel and still stay vegan, Santorini is seriously the place for you — even the delicious frothy coffee doesn’t contain milk and the people could not be more accommodating.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 shallots, finely sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1-3/4 cups cherry or other small tomatoes, halved
- 14 ounces spaghetti
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained, rinsed, and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup medium white wine
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, to garnish
Directions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick, heavy-bottomed frying pan and add the shallots. Season with salt and pepper and allow the shallots to sweat for several minutes before adding the garlic and tomatoes.
- Add the pasta to the pan of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, stirring frequently to keep it from sticking.
- Once the tomatoes begin to soften, pour in the lemon juice, season, and reduce for a few minutes. Add the capers and wine to the pan — turn the heat up and let the alcohol evaporate and the sauce thicken slightly.
- Reserve a small cup of cooking water from the pasta before draining it. Lightly toss the spaghetti in the sauce. Pour in the reserved cooking water and let the pasta soak up the sauce flavors before transferring to a dish.
- Serve drizzled with the extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley.
