    Chop onion, garlic, tomato and mint and rinse and drain capers. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook onion for 5 minutes, add garlic for 30 seconds, then tomato and reserved pasta water. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add beans and capers for 5 minutes. Fold in pasta, couscous and mint and serve eight modest portions.
