Penne Pasta with Tomatoes and Olives

This is an all time favorite of ours, tested and eaten now for about 10 years. It delights our taste buds each time. Great dish to take to a party or picnic too.

I made Greek style ficken using quorn patties as a protein to go along with the pasta.. Just heat olive oil and salt/ pepper in a skillet. Add some minced garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Cook ficken until browned. Yummy!
