Another Tasty Recipe from Real Simple

This recipe is very simple, relatively fast, and delicious. Since none of my photos turned out, here's the one RS posted on their website.


Marinara Sauce with Olives, Basil & Feta

1 Tb olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp sugar
16 ounces penne
1/2 cup pitted & halved kalamata olives
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
3/4 c (3 ounces) crumbled feta

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juices, red pepper, oregano, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Add olives, basil & feta and toss.

Cook the penne according to the package directions. Drain and divide among individual places. Spoon the sauce over the top.
