Well, I'm an omnivore all the way, but I threw together an amazing pasta dish tonight, if I might be permitted a bit o' bragging, that I just had to share:
Screaming for Kalamata (serves 3-4)
Measurements were eyeballed, the numbers here have been guesstimated post-production. You are warned.
Ingredients
8oz bow tie pasta
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning mix (marjoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, sage, oregono, basil)...err towards more seasoning
1/3 cup red wine
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 can diced tomatoes
2-3 cloves crushed garlic
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
Cooking Instructions
Cook the pasta, drain, and set aside
In the now empty pasta pot, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and italian seasoning. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds.
Add the wine (oooh, sizzly) and let it boil off for about 30 seconds.
Add tomoatoes and salt, stir until the mixture starts to boil.
Return the pasta to the pot, stir until the sauce coats evenly. Lower the heat to medium low bringing the pasta/sauce mixture to a low simmer. Leave on low simmer uncovered for ~10 minutes. Add the olives and stir until they are warm. Serve.
