Fusilli with Garlic & Capers is a quick and easy meal when you are in a rush. If you are looking for some protein, toss in some shrimp or grill up some pork chops or chicken breasts if time allows or even prosciutto or pancetta would be lovely in this pasta dish.
If you do not have fusilli, use bows or any other medium sized pasta. For my photo I used bows. Equally devine.
