12086 Olive Pasta 20 minutes 15 minutes Serves 4 Thu Jun 12 09:04:52 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 02 20:59:45 -0700 2009 Medium Italian User http://www.chow.com/recipes/12086 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 03:59:45 GMT This recipe was given to me by my sister one night when I had vegetarian guests coming over and couldn’t figure out what to make. Her description: “It’s meaty!”. And it is indeed meaty-tasting, truly delicious, easy, and can be made from regular ingredients in your pantry (if you have the kind of pantry that always stocks capers and olives).

  • Saute onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until soft but not brown. Add oregano, vinegar, capers, tomatoes and olives and cook at a low simmer for 15 minutes. Toss with pasta and cheese.
