I really appreciated this recipe as it was easy to cut in half, and served well as a side dish that was both different and fresh. For dietary reasons, I did cut back substantially on the oil with good results, but knew it was an important part of the sauce so I increased the amount of tomatoes a bit to compensate. The finished dish is both robust from the olives and fresh from the tomatoes and parsley, and it could not have been easier to prepare. I chose to use angel hair instead of the penne and served this as a side dish to some simple broiled fish. Thank you SarryLUV for sharing the recipe.
