Wish I could give this more than a 5 star rating, wonderful spaghetti! I ran out of fresh garlic so I used dried minced garlic and red pepper flakes for the red chili pepper. Had a 10 ounce container of cherry tomatoes so used all of them and 3 teaspoons of capers. The garlic and red pepper is so good and the tomatoes are sweet with a little bite from the capers. I could eat this everyday and be happy. Very quick to make and would be great for a weekend night family dinner or a nice dinner with friends. Will be making this again!
