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 lettuce which means it can wither fast. Therefore add it at the last second. That way this veggie stays crunchy.
