Tomato & Olive Penne Recipe

Ingredients

• 450g penne or other short pasta
• 55ml Karyatis Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 450g cherry tomatoes quartered
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
• 50g Karyatis Kalamata olives, sliced
• 50g chopped fresh parsley
• 50g grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
• salt & pepper

Method

1. Cook pasta according to instructions and drain.
2. Warm the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook, stirring until just golden.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes, oregano, crushed red pepper (if using), ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
4. Reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring until tomato juices run, about 3 minutes.
5. Add the pasta, olives, parsley, and 1/4 cup parmesan to the pan and toss to combine.
6. Serve with more cheese if desired.

Allow the cherry tomatoes to cook just long enough to bring out their juice, which blends with the garlic-flavored olive oil to make this a great tasting pasta sauce.
