Recipe summary

Ease of Preparation: Easy
A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!

Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 28 ounces can whole or pureed tomatoes
  • 1 cup of black or green kalamata style olives, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 3 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 pound farfelle or penne pasta
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Sauté the onions with the olive oil in a medium sized saucepan until they soften and begin to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so.
  3. Pour in the tomato juice from the canned tomatoes, puree the remaining whole tomatoes, and then add to the mixture.
  4. Add the olives and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  6. Taste the sauce and season with salt if needed.
  7. Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  8. Add lots of salt and then the pasta.
  9. Stir well and cook pasta until it's just tender - al dente, about 9 minutes.
  10. Drain the pasta - but don't rinse it - then immediately toss with the sauce.
