💭 Top tips

• Capers are stored in a salt and vinegar solution. Make sure you drain them under cold running water otherwise this solution will dominate the flavor of your spaghetti recipe.
• If you want to eat vegetarian, substitute the ham with roasted or sun-dried tomatoes. Slice them in small strips before you add them.
• Arugula is a lettuce which means it can wither fast. Therefor add it at the last second. That way this veggie stays crunchy.
