Fresh Tomato, Olive, Artichoke image

My daughter works at an Italian restaurant and brought home something similar to this. We experimented and here it is. I love the fact that this doesn't need to be cooked--it's so fresh! The better your tomatoes are, the better this will be. I like to use grape tomatoes or roma. Please feel free to adjust any ingredient amounts to your taste. I love the capers in this and will usually add more, and 1/4 C oil is plenty for me. Cook time is for your pasta. (You can add very thin slivers of sweet or red onion, though I haven't tried it).

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped small
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can black olives, chopped small
1 cup artichoke heart, chopped small
1/4 cup capers
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (I like to snip it with kitchen shears right into the measuring cup)
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon italian seasoning, more to taste
3 -5 dashes Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
salt & pepper
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients, taste, and adjust seasonings to your liking.
  • Put aside to let flavors blend (not in frig!) while you cook up your pasta.
  • Angel hair works best for this.
  • I would use 8 oz, but then I like LOTS of flavor so for some 16 oz of pasta may be fine.
  • When pasta is done, drain, then immediately toss with tomato mixture.
  • Add more oil if needed.
