Very yummy and flexible recipe to suit people's individual tastes. I also found it needed some extra seasonings. I added a little salt, lots of pepper and a little parmesan at the end. I used about twice as much olives as well. Very yummy and flexible recipe to suit people's individual tastes.

This was yummy. I also added extra seasonings, and I used frozen spinach. It tasted great.

Delicious! I used tube pasta instead as I didn't have any penne. Also added a bit more water as there wasnt enough liquid, and 2 garlic cloves minced, a pinch of oregano, basil and black pepper to liven it up a bit.

This was pretty good, although I did find it a bit bland. I think next time I'd add some garlic and herbs or, at the very least, a bit of ground pepper. Still, the basic idea of the dish is a good one and it's easy to make. I didn't need to simmer the tomatoes for 20 minutes, just threw the spinach in as soon as they'd heated up and cooked until the spinach was wilted.
