Directions:
Warm up the oil and cook the garlic until nicely blonde (do not overcook). Let it cool.

In the meantime, cook the angel hair pasta and reserve some of the pasta water

In a large salad bowl, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, oil and garlic, chopped capers, and chopped parsley, parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and a handful of quartered cherry tomatoes.

Add the cooled pasta and toss until it's nicely coated (add some pasta water if you need to loosen up the pasta a bit), add more chopped tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste.

(You can add a bit more lemony flavor by drizzling with Myer Lemon Sedona Vinegar).

Personal Notes:
This is a knockoff of the salad sold at Safeway supermarkets.

We also like more capers than recipe calls for.
