Black Olives with Tomatoes & Capers Over Pasta
So easy to make, and it was delicious. I used fresh tomatoes that were growing in my backyard. The dish was refreshing and flavourful. Have added it to my recipe box. Now I have another way to cook my garden fresh tomatoes.

Directions
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil with the garlic and onion over moderate heat.
When they sizzle, add the tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands.
Then stir in the remaining ingredients.
Simmer the sauce until it is thick but still slightly liquid, 5 to 7 minutes.
Serve over cooked pasta.
