    How to Make Cold Garlicky Pasta with Capers and Salsa Verde

    1. Cook Garlic

    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is warmed, add four finely chopped garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook the garlic for about two minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes fragrant and develops a slight golden hue.

    2. Add Capers and Greens

    Incorporate two tablespoons of chopped, brined capers and two cups of kale into the skillet. Stir them in with the garlic, and cook until the greens wilt down, which should take just a few minutes.

    3. Combine Pasta with Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine three cups of leftover cooked pasta with the garlicky greens and caper mixture. Add one and a half cups of salsa verde, tossing everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the vibrant sauce.

    4. Season and Serve

    Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the pasta and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to taste. Serve this cold pasta dish immediately.
