Bursting with flavor and so easy to prepare, you'll be craving this pasta every week. The super-fragrant sauce is made with a lot of tomatoes, garlic and veggies. The addition of capers and olives adds a briny saltiness to the dish. It's definitely a break from the classic spaghetti and meatballs that seems a little more complicated but it isn't.
