Cook pasta in salty water as per packaging. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking add olive oil to a pot over medium-low heat. Once olive oil has heated up add capers and fry for 3-5 minutes. Warning! the capers will splatter in the oil especially if some of the caper brine gets in the oil.
Lower the heat and add garlic. Cook garlic for 3 minutes or until it is soft and fragrant.
Add spices and Calabrian pepper paste and cook on low for 5 minutes, until oil has absorbed the flavor and spices have softened.
Add cooked pasta, and cheese and give a toss. Cook in the oil for 1 minute before serving.
Notes
Heat needs to be on low after the garlic and spices are added in. If the garlic begins to brown the heat is too high.
3 tbsp of oil covers one serving of pasta however if you find that you need more oil add an additional tbsp with the spices.
