Penne Arrabbiata with Kalamata Olives

Vegetarian.  Makes 2 smallish meals or one big one (depending on how hungry you are!)

The microwave instructions for Penne Arrabbiata calls for heating on medium for 4 minutes, which gives you just enough time to cut up some of the Jumbo Pitted Greek Kalamata Olives.  Throw in the olives before heating on high for another 3 minutes.  This dish is best served with grated asiago or parmesan cheese.  You can buy both in wedges at TJs or get a tub of pre-grated.

Tonight I paired the Penne with TJs broccolini (sold in the fresh food section).  I steamed the broccolini until the stems could be easily pierced with a fork.  Then I tossed the broccolini with a little olive oil and some TJs crushed garlic in a frying pan for about 

a minute.  

Add in some 2 Buck Chuck (Much touted Charles Shaw wines found only at TJs.  $1.99 in California and $2.99 everywhere else - thus the nickname) and you have a perfect meal!
