Here's what I made last night: it's quick and easy (based on my favorite basic Marinara recipe), and quite tasty.

LINGUINE CON OLIVA

2 pounds skinned, seeded and diced plum tomatoes (canned tomatoes work fine - use the liquid in the cans as well)
1/2 cup olive oil
4-8 large cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup (packed tightly) chopped fresh parsley OR 1/4 cup (packed loosely) dried parsley
1/2 cup chopped, pitted green olives

And that's all there is to it! This is a good sauce for spaghetti, linguine or fettucine. It's also a tasty one to throw some mussels into.

My sucky spell-checker does not have the word "Fettucini" in it. It suggests, as an alternative, "Feminine"
