- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup capers
- 15-20 basil leaves
- 1 large tomato, diced, or a handful of sweet cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or the juice from one lemon)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp granulated garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk together until smooth.
- Pour the desired amount over pasta. Then top with the parmesan, tomatoes, and capers. Stir to combine. This is best served cold, so if you have time, refrigerate it for about an hour. Add basil right before serving.
