EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Because the ingredients in this recipe are uncooked, they'll stay warmer if you toss them with the pasta in a prewarmed bowl. To warm your serving bowl, fill it with hot water and let it stand while the pasta is cooking. Pour the water out just before you're ready to add the pasta.

I expected a little more flavor out of this dish; it tasted really bland to me when I followed the recipe exactly. However, once I added a little more of the herbs and capers and a squeeze of lemon juice, my husband and I really liked the results.

Easy, light summer pasta dish. It is definitely in my summer's rotation. The cherry tomatoes even pleased the ones that don't care for them usually.
