This orecchiette with capers and white wine is an easy weeknight meal that tastes like something from a restaurant. It’s modest — pasta, olive oil, capers, and a splash of white wine to boost the flavor. The sauce sticks generously to the pasta thanks to its distinct domed shape making every bite delightfully tasty. It goes splendidly well with a heaping of a quick-tossed salad/
