This dish conjures memories of vacations to warm and relaxing Seville, Spain, where the trees hang heavy with fresh lemons and plump green olives. Ladled over al dente linguine and spiked with briny capers, it’s a fresh and healthy way to get a full serving of vegetables. We top it all off with buttery toasted pine nuts for a weeknight meal that’s quick and easy, but tastes like it’s been bubbling on the stove all day.

3 Prepare the Sauce
While pasta is cooking, place a medium pan over medium heat with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes (to taste). Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the marinara sauce, olives, capers, parsley, and lemon zest to taste, reserving some parsley and zest for garnish. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4 Toast the Pine Nuts
In a dry medium pan, add the pine nuts over medium heat. Moving the skillet around a bit to prevent burning, cook the pine nuts until they are lightly browned and aromatic, about 2 minutes. Remove pine nuts from the pan and set aside until ready to plate.
