- 8 oz. ziti or rigatoni
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 small can tomato sauce (8 oz)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 can black olives
- 1 can artichoke hearts, quartered
as an italian, i must encourage you to use fresh tomatoes if you have them. alas, it is winter here in the midwest, and we don't have fresh tomatoes around too often. so heat your tomatoes (canned or fresh) with tomato sauce for about 10 minutes on medium-high. start boiling the ziti according to directions on package. after sauce has just started to simmer, add black olives, garlic and artichoke hearts. simmer on low for about 5-10 minutes more, until the ziti is done. mix the sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and rigatoni together.
makes about 3 dinner servings.

Mmm this sounds great! I only recently discovered artichoke hearts (yes, I suspect I have been living under a rock of some sort :P)
Yeah, artichoke hearts just rule in my book!

I have a greek-style pasta recipe that I make on a regular basis that's similar too. This looks great!
Mmm, mmm, mmm!!!
I hear you on the tomatoes. It's almost like an Italian sin! :) Haha! My mother in law (who is also Italian) and I jarred tomatoes at the end of the summer so we could have them for our sauces!
Looks amazingly delicious!! I love pasta!!!
another sucker for artichoke hearts here! your pasta looks so awesome! mmmmmmmmmmm! i would love to try this dish with some tasty seasonal tomatoes, but i might have to make it sooner - it looks too delicious!
You have all of my favourite ingredients for a pasta dish there :D
Oh my goodness, thanks so much for the freezing-jocalat tip. I love eating dark chocolate straight from the freezer, but never thought about freezing my energy bars. It's supposed to warm up this week, so I'm definitely going to try that!
Hahaha so true. The funny thing is that whenever I book acting jobs, I usually play 15-year-old emo teenagers that wear globs of black eye liner.
I think you should high-tale it out to LA and try they Peanut Kale Salad at M Cafe. Your resolve will be powerless.
That looks yummy!
