INGREDIENTS

  • Servings: 1
  • 4 oz bite sized pasta, such as the cellentani
  • pictured
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp capers, drained
  • 6 jumbo olives, crumbled
  • A sprinkle of red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

Directions:


Start a pot of water boiling with a generous pinch of salt. Add the pasta when it reaches a


boil, then start the sauce while it cooks to al dente.


Sauté the garlic in the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it just starts to


turn golden. Add the remainder of the ingredients and simmer until the sauce is


thickened. It should be ready just as the pasta is.


Drain the pasta and dump it into the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine. Serve


immediately.
