Easy Caper Pasta Sauce

This came out very delicious.  I just wanted something that was quick and easy but yet tasty to put with the pasta Vince was boiling.  I made this up on the spur of the moment and it is worth sharing.

Ingredients:
2 Tbls of Butter
1 Large Chopped Shallot
3 tsp of Minced Basil (Very finely chopped)
Juice from 1 Lemon
1/2 Jar Capers Drained
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Heaping Tbls Corn Starch
1/2 Lbs Cooked and Drained Pasta

In a 2 quart saucepan or Sautier melt the butter over medium heat and when it starts to bubble add the shallots cooking until soft.  It just takes a few minutes.  Add the basil, capers and lemon juice.  In a jar shake the chicken broth and cornstarch together.  Slowly whisk the chicken broth mixture into the pan.  As soon as the sauce thickens turn off the heat and add the pasta.  Serve and enjoy.  How easy was that?
