📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the walnut & lentil ragu in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until piping hot, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. (Add a splash of water to loosen it as it reheats, if needed).

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and drain ⏱️ 2-3 minutes before it is done to your liking, reserving a mugful of the cooking liquid. Transfer the spaghetti into the saucepan with the sauce and toss to coat. Add a generous splash of the reserved cooking liquid and allow it to finish cooking in the sauce, adding more reserved cooking liquid as needed.

Place the capers on a paper towel to drain thoroughly. (Any excess brine will splutter as they fry.) Heat 1 cm of oil in a small saucepan. Once it is shimmering add the capers and fry until crispy and they turn a darker shade of green and begin to pop open slightly, ⏱️ 3-4 minutes. Remove capers using a slotted spoon and place on a clean paper towel to absorb excess oil.
