Preparation

Step 1

Cook penne in salted, boiling water until al dente. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring, until just golden (1 min). Add cherry tomatoes, oregano, crushed red pepper, ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring, until tomato juices run, about 3 minutes.

Add penne, olives, parsley, and parmesan to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve with more cheese if desired.
