Great and easy dish! The sauce was simple to put together and had a nice flavor. I used only 2 oz of pasta per person, so there was plenty of sauce for the pasta - yum! Thanks for sharing! ZWT9

Very easy and good, I didnt have feta, sorry about that, would be good, however the olives were a lovely addition. Thanks iewe, made for ZWT9, Panthers On The Prowl.

We had this for dinner tonight, and it was great! Hubby cleaned his bowl, and said he would like it again. I think next time i will add maybe 2 more tomatoes. I used 4 roma tomatoes this time, and I used Kalamata olives, which i sliced, and added most of them to the sauce, saving a few to sprinkle on top. It was a tasty, easy dish, and we will definately ahve it again. [made for the Aussie/New zealand forum Tag Game]
