Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta of choice, gluten-free pasta if you prefer
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup olives (any kind or a mix)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Parmegan for serving (optional)
- Parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot bring water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the olives, garlic, and capers. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and the garlic just begins to brown. Add in the tomatoes, sugar, red pepper flakes if using, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until the sauce has cooked down and darkened in colour If the sauce has become too thick, simply add a bit of water to thin as desired.
- Add the cooked and drained pasta to the sauce and toss well to coat. Sprinkle of parmegan and a garnish of parsley or basil.
Notes
If your olives have pits, you can either de-pit them before cooking with them or just remember that they have pits when you are eating the dish so that you can pick them out as you eat.
