Rigatoni with Tomatoes and Olives
This is a delicious, simple recipe for a weeknight dinner. Scramble recipe tester, Debbie Firestone said, "I think that was our favorite test recipe, so far. Easy to fix, and delicious."
Ingredients
- 1 pkg. rigatoni noodles (use wheat/gluten-free if needed) 16 oz.
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced, about 2 tsp.
- 15 oz. diced tomatoes with their liquid
- 6 oz. black olives canned, whole or sliced, drained
- 1/4 tsp. salt optional
- 1 cup fresh parsley minced
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant and golden.
- Add the tomatoes and olives, salt (optional) and pepper and simmer until the pasta is finished.
- In a large metal bowl, combine the rigatoni with the sauce and parsley. Top it with Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
Scramble Flavor Booster: Top with crushed red pepper flakes.
Tip: I love using a large metal bowl for serving pasta, as it keeps the food warm and makes it look so appetizing!
