directions

  • Start water in large pot to boil noodles.
  • Heat oil in a wide/deep skillet (or pot large enough for all ingredients except noodles),blade crush and mince garlic, add when oil is hot.
  • Dice fresh tomatoes or open cans quickly so the garlic doesn't burn; slightly brown is fine, but garlic needs only a brief period to release aroma.
  • Add tomatoes, parsley, oregano, and I add pepper now too if coarse black pepper is available; if not, just add some fine black to taste when serving.
  • When tomato mixture begins to bubble, cover and reduce heat to simmer (about 3 min).
  • Now is a good time to drain noodles if you haven't already.
  • Make sure you drain off all excess water, and please don't add oil to noodles.
  • Time to add beans and olives to tomatoes, cook 1 minute.
  • Serve as common noodles by pour over or mixing, sprinkle with cheese or salt/pepper to taste.
  • If you used fresh parsley and have any left over you can sprinkle that on top, how versatile.

  1. This was very tasty! This was just the recipe I needed today as it finished up some ingredients I needed to use! I halved the recipe and used fresh tomatoes, fresh parsley, and kalamata olives. My tomatoes were very juicy so I cooked the sauce a few minutes longer to thicken it some. I highly recommend using the feta garnish, as it really brought everything together. Thanks so much for the recipe!
     
  2. The fam loved it! Made it with the kalamata olives & feta. Excellent flavor combination . . . but felt like it needed a little extra punch for my taste.
     
  3. I added two fresh tomatoes in addition to the canned, and a lot of rosemary. Also left out the cheese. Was wonderful!
     
  4. I was a bit skeptical but the bean/olive combo was excellent. Using fresh tomatoes made it wonderful.
     
  5. This is an excellent pasta dish. I made a few adjustments to fit my tastes, I used 2 cans of the beans, 1 can of black olives instead of green, and I left out the cheese (I'm not a big cheese fan). I also cut up 1 large fresh tomato and added it along with the canned. Great recipe!
