This ended up being a super-convenient dinner when I had only an hour or so home before I had to hit a play. I feel there’s a chance I’ve forgotten an ingredient here, but in general just feel free to improvise (I may add anchovies next time, etc.).
1 package whole wheat pasta, like penne or farfale
1 28 oz can whole tomatoes
tomato paste (about a tablespoon)
about 6 0z chopped kalamata olives
1 tbsp or more capers
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
red pepper flakes, to taste
a bit of Tuscan Sunset Italian seasoning
fresh basil, chopped
salt
olive oil
parmaggiano or romano cheese, grated (optional)
Heat a bit of olive oil in pan. Sautee onions and garlic. Add mixture plus remaining ingredients (save cheese and pasta) to crock pot. Cook on low until you come home.
Adjust seasonings if needed. Cook pasta according to directions.
Serve with grated cheese on top, if desired.
