  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
  2. While the spaghetti cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (something you'd enjoy!) and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of capers and heat through for 1 minute.
  7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
  8. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
  10. Garnish with a lemon wedge and a few fresh basil leaves.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
