This pantry-centric pasta dish, full of high-impact southern Italian flavors, is made by simmering ziti directly in a briny, garlicky sauce. In addition to streamlining cooking and cleanup, the technique ensures each piece of pasta is seasoned perfectly throughout. For added pops of flavor and crunchy texture, we fry capers until browned and crisp, then sprinkle them on just before serving. A finishing drizzle of olive oil and dusting of cheese bring a bit of body that ties everything together.

Tip

Don’t forget to dry the capers before frying. Pat them with a paper towel, removing as much liquid as possible; that way, they’re less likely to splatter on contact with the hot oil.
