Dinner, Lunch

The origin of this recipe may be scandalous- but man is it delicious! This is my twist on a classic (you know that’s how I roll) , and I know you’re going to love it. As always, we are keeping it simple but I have to tell you – this recipe is alarmingly easy and incredibly tasty. One of the most asked questions I get is “so after making a few martinis, I have sooo many olives left in the jar without the brine! Any suggestions?” And now my answer will be to point people in the direction this pasta. Enjoy!

Save this one for the next “what’s for dinner?” emergency. ✨
