Green Olive Pasta image

Incredibly simple to make and simply incredible to eat! You can experiment freely, or add any kind of fish / leftover poultry - this version is vegetarian. The basic ingredients are healthy and colourful. The sweetness of the corn and pepper nicely balance out the saltiness of the olives. If you prefer a saucier pasta, this is also delicious when a tablespoon of cream is added to the vegetables. Finally, you could omit the pasta and eat as a particularly tasty salad or sandwich filling!

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

500 g dry linguine or 500 g dried tagliatelle pasta noodles
200 g stuffed green olives
200 g canned mushroom slices
2 tablespoons canned sweetcorn
1 red sweet bell pepper
2 -5 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes until al dente.
  • Meanwhile -- Slice the olives into 5-6 slices each (may sound time-consuming but it's not, really).
  • Remove seeds from red bell pepper, quarter and slice finely.
  • Drain mushrooms.
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain in colander.
  • Quickly heat all other ingredients in the olive oil (1-2 minutes maximum). The idea is to take the chill off, not to cook!
  • Serve vegetables spooned generously over pasta.
