Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked penne pasta (about 12 oz)
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic whole peeled tomatoes with basil, undrained
  • 1 can (8 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps

  • 1
    Cook pasta as directed on package.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 4-quart saucepan, heat remaining ingredients except parsley to boiling over medium-high heat, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered about 15 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.
  • 3
    Drain pasta. Stir pasta and parsley into sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until thoroughly heated.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You might like to purchase olives from a fresh olive bar found in larger supermarkets.
  • tip 2
    If you can't find tomatoes with basil, you can use regular tomatoes. Add chopped fresh basil or dried basil leaves to make up the difference in flavor.
