Add wine and basil to pan and cook until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add olives, capers and broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook pasta until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
