Tip

Storing Pasta

I store all my pastas in canning jars rather than the opened boxes. The pasta stays fresher, and the jars stack nicely, too, conserving pantry space. When I’m preparing my grocery list, I can see what I need at a glance. —Laurie S., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

YUM! I could not find the tapenade and then I found an equivalent and it was $7 so I made my own (green olives, garlic, parsley and olive oil). It was super yummy!

Really good pasta. My husband loved it. Tasted like a muffuletta, definitely will be making it again. This recipe cuts in half well.

OK - I will try this recipe again and I will follow the suggestion of the other reviewer and make my own mixture of olives and possibly red peppers. I used purchased tapenade and it was really really bad but all of the other flavors were very nice. I gave this recipe a 3 out of 5 just because I'm sure there is someone out there who would enjoy it with pre made tapenade. Like I said, I will try this one more time but this batch went down the garbage disposal.

I absolutely LOVED this recipe, although I did have to make a few changes based on what I had on hand. I used salami rather than pepperoni and yellow onion instead of green onions. Also, since I don't like tapenade anyway, I used a mixture of green and ripe black olives, and roasted peppers. It turned out great and I can't wait to start on the leftovers! Delicious!!
