Instructions

Step 1

Cook the linguine according to package directions, omitting salt if desired; drain and place in a large bowl.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, olives, and capers; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 6-7 minutes. Add the beans and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Pour the beans and sauce over the linguine, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve at once.
