My mom, Jo, came up with this one. Its great in summer when the tomatoes are ripe, and the herbs are ready to be picked. Good for a potluck too. You can cut back on the garlic a little to make it slightly milder. The capers lend a saltyness that's nice. Its a good side dish to grilled meats.
Summer Spaghetti

1 small onion, chopped
6 green olives, chopped
2 med cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped, OR 1 Tbsp dry basil
2 tsp capers, drained
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp fresh oregano, OR 1/4 tsp dry oregano
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 lb spaghetti (I like angel hair)
Cook and drain spaghetti according to package directions. Combine all ingredients and chill for at least an hour to combine flavors.
Sounds FABULOUS
