PASTA WITH KALAMATA OLIVE TAPENADE, FETA, AND CHOPPED TOMATO



Pasta With Kalamata Olive Tapenade, Feta, and Chopped Tomato image

Tapenade paired with an aromatic paste of briny Greek black olives with sweet pieces of ripe tomato and small cubes of the eastern Mediterranean's pungent Greek sheep's milk cheese makes up this luscious dish. You'll can find Kalamata olives sold by weight in the deli cases of well-stocked supermarkets, as well as in jars. Some may be found already pitted. Substitute any other brine-cured Mediterranean olives you like. Serve with spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle, or other medium-width strands or ribbons. One you won't want to miss!
