hat We Don’t Talk Solo Aglio-e-Olio

"Create a single-serve, 15-minute pasta called Now That We Don’t Talk Solo Aglio-e-Olio with Crispy Capers & Lemon, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘Now That We Don’t Talk.’ Vibe: DND mode, clear boundaries, cool lemon over quiet heat.Core (for 1): 3 oz spaghetti (or linguine), 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp drained capers, 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves, pinch red pepper flakes (to taste), ½ tsp lemon zest + 1–2 tsp lemon juice, 1–2 Tbsp chopped parsley, kosher salt, black pepper. Optional: 2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan (or omit to keep it dairy-free).Method: Boil pasta in salted water. While it cooks, crisp the capers in 1 Tbsp oil over medium until crackly; scoop out. Lower heat, add remaining oil + garlic; cook gently until just pale-gold; add red pepper flakes. Splash in ¼ cup pasta water to stop the fry and build the emulsion. Toss in drained pasta; swirl to glossy. Off heat: fold in lemon zest/juice, parsley, most crispy capers; salt/pepper to taste.Serve: twirl in a warm bowl; scatter remaining capers; finish with extra pepper and a thread of olive oil (and Parm if using).Include: exact amounts, total time ~15 min, step-by-step, cues for garlic color (blond, not brown) and sauce texture (silky, not oily).Swaps: GF pasta; vegan/DF by default if skipping Parm; add 1 minced anchovy or ½ tsp white miso to the oil for extra depth; herb swap (basil or chives); green add-in (handful arugula to wilt at the end).Scaling: for two, double everything and use a slightly larger pan; keep garlic pale.Plating: pale-gold noodles, emerald parsley, and little ‘blocked number’ crispy capers—clean cut, home-kitchen easy, and no dish repeats"
