Recipe: Pasta with Black Olives

This is a really simple dish, especially if you have an herb garden. While I do give measurements, don't feel like you have to stick with them because I make it a little different every time, according to taste. Experiment with what YOU like!

Ingredients:

1 package of pasta, any kind

1 can whole black olives, pitted, drained

1/4 cup olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced or crushed

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook pasta. While cooking, in a large mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, garlic and oregano. Add olives. Drain pasta and add. Toss and serve.
