That sounds really good. Do both toppings end up being mixed together with the pasta? If so, is there an advantage to keeping them separate like that?

[TexasRose]

That sounds very similar to my recipe, except mine does not have heavy cream. The capers and butter are the key ingredients.

Texas rose, would you mind posting your heavy cream-less recipe? TIA!
