lemon butter pasta with capers and artichokes

This is the quickest dish to throw together on a weeknight. It comes together in just a few minutes since angel hair pasta cooks so quickly. You can make the sauce while your pasta is boiling and your meal will be ready in less than 15 minutes!

I think artichoke and capers are flavors you really love…or you don’t. I don’t think there is much of a middle ground there.
