Fresh, homemade linguine with tomato and black olives

Fresh, homemade linguine with tomato and black olives: After a busy day at The Farm, we don’t want to be fussing over food. So this very speedy pasta dish is just the ticket!

Pasta dishes served up in Italy are often very, very simple and very, very quick to prepare. Just as they do in Italy, we started to boil the water and began making the sauce. Preparing your pasta dishes in this way will help with timing and when you bring it altogether it will be perfect for serving.
