3 tbsp Olive oil

30 g Roughly chopped capers

1 tsp Chilli flakes

4 Cloves garlic, chopped

1 Lemon (zested and the quartered)

1 tsp Dried parsley (or substitute with more fresh parsley)

100 ml Dry white wine

180 g Spaghetti

180 g Samphire

Heat the oil in a pan and add the capers, chilli flakes, garlic, lemon zest and parsley.

Cook for around 8 minutes until garlic is fragrant but not brown

Add the wine and simmer until reduced - a further 5-10 mins

In the meantime, cook the spaghetti in well-salted water and add the samphire 30 seconds before spaghetti is cooked (al dente ideally)

Reserve a ladle of the pasta liquid and drain

Add the spaghetti and samphire to the caper and garlic oil and mix well

Serve with the lemon wedges, fried nooch (see separate recipe) and extra garlic flakes.
