PENNE ALLA NAPOLITANA
Incredibly quick & easy ... intensely flavorful ... a favorite for years. Even better, if you purchase some of the ingredients in 'convenience' form (minced garlic, sliced olives, pre-shredded cheese), this meal can go from pantry to dinner table in less than 30 minutes!!

Steps:
- 1. Drop penne in boiling, salted water. Return to boil & boil gently for 8-10 mins. (for 'al dente'), or to desired tenderness. Drain; toss with 1 T. of the olive oil. Return to pan & keep warm.
- 2. Saute garlic slowly in remaining 3 T. of olive oil in large skillet until soft, but not brown. (NOTE: To speed prep time, I typically start this step as pasta is cooking on another burner!)
- 3. Add sliced/chopped olives, basil, red pepper flakes, & tomato sauce. Stir & heat to simmering. (NOTE: The olive oil will separate & form a 'ring' around pan's edge ... don't worry, this is normal! The oil will incorporate in the next step.)
- 4. Add grated parmesan, stirring until melted and combined well; repeat with mozzarella. (Provolone goes well with this, too.)
- 5. Pour over warm pasta & serve!
