Spaghetti with black olives

Serving suggestion

Serve with a green salad.

Variations

• Use mild Spanish olives if you have olive-haters in the family; they will blend in and not upset anyone. If you love olives, use kalamata or Greek olives for a stronger flavour.
• You could easily add chicken or prawns to this to add protein, and use any other kind of pasta shapes you prefer.
• Drizzle with a good quality olive oil to finish if you like.
• Make it gluten free: Use gluten free pasta.

HFG tip

Cathy says: “This is a recipe I use once a week and which my husband and kids love. It is supposed to be a favourite pasta recipe in Italy whence it comes. I like to serve it with feta cheese diced into it, and a lovely fresh salad with a lemony oil dressing on the side.”
