Ingredients

1 large yellow onion, diced

8 cloves of garlic, diced to minced

2 T olive oil

1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes

1/4 c of kalamata olives, diced and pitted

1 to 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/2 to 1 tsp. red pepper flakes

1 pound of penne pasta (I use whole wheat.)

Procedure

1.  Cook pasta as directed.

2.  In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onions are translucent and the garlic is browned (but not burned ... otherwise it gets bitter).

Enjoy!
