Tasty pasta with a very small ingredient rich in properties: capers.
Features:
The capers are the buds of the Capparis spinosa, a species native to the Mediterranean region belonging to the Capparaceae family. Florida in the humid climates, it grows well in Italy and is widespread also in Cyprus, in Greece, in North Africa and in some areas of Asia Minor.
Capers are a source of antioxidants: quercetin has antibacterial, anticancer, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, while rutin strengthens the capillaries and inhibits the formation of platelet aggregates, thus promoting good circulation in smaller blood vessels. 
Historical background:
References are found in the Bible, in the writings of Hippocrates, Aristotle and Pliny the Elder, both for food and medicinal use.

Traditional medicine recommends capers to relieve pain of rheumatic origin. They are also used as an appetite stimulant, to relieve stomach pain and to combat flatulence.
