TOMATO AND OLIVE PENNE



Tomato and Olive Penne image

The cherry tomatoes cook just long enough to bring out their juice, which blends with the garlic-flavored olive oil to make one of the best-tasting pasta sauces.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt and pepper
1 pound penne, or other short pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2/3 pound (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook penne according to package instructions until al dente, about 13 minutes. Drain.

Add cherry tomatoes, oregano, crushed red pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring, until tomato juices run, about 3 minutes.
  • Add penne, olives, parsley, and 1/4 cup Parmesan to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve with more cheese if desired.

CHERRY TOMATO SALAD WITH KALAMATA OLIVES



Cherry Tomato Salad With Kalamata Olives image

This is so simple to make. It's worth it to allow some time for this to sit in the fridge - the olives will infuse the tomatoes with a wondeful salty tang.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pint cherry tomatoes (try an heirloom mix)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olive
herb-flavored vinegar
extra virgin olive oil
basil

Steps:

  • Rinse the tomatoes well with cold water. I normally cut them in half, and also cut off any stems or blemishes, then add them to a bowl. Roughly chop the olives and add to the tomatoes.
  • Squish the mixture with your fingers so the tomatoes give off some juice and everything is nicely mixed.
  • Drizzle in a very little bit of the vinegar and olive oil.
  • Stash this in the fridge for a while if you have time, then top with some shredded basil just before eating.
  • Another great way to serve this is to toast some slices of cheese bread (try my recipe #138924), rub both sides with a cut garlic clove, then mound the tomato mixture on top. Lay very thin slices of the fresh mozarella on top, and broil for a minute or two. Garnish with shredded basil and freshly ground black pepper.
