Thanks for the link, Johnathan, I bookmarked it to check out more later. I'm wanting to try cooking more. Usually it's just frozen stuffed chicken breasts and rice, or some pasta simple dish. I just bought a Martha Stewart cookbook called Good Food Fast. I've made this recipe which was good. You can add chicken or beef to it. I'm not a vegetarian, but this was a vegetarian recipe.

I couldn't find it online, but this is a really good and easy recipe, I'll type it out here (sorry I don't have the conversions for everybody besides Americans):

TOMATO AND OLIVE PENNE
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min

Coarse salt and
fresh ground pepper
1 lb penne or other short pasta
1/4 C olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 lb cherry tomatoes (2 Cups),
halved or quartered
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
(optional)
1/4 Cup kalamata olives, pitted
and sliced
1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 Cup grated Parmesan cheese
plus more for serving (optional)

1
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain.

2
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oliv3e oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, until just golden, about 1 minute. Add the cherry tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring, until the tomato juices run,
about 3 minutes

3
Add the penne, olives, parsley, and 1/4 Cup Parmesan to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve with more cheese if desired.

Martha Stweart on pitting olives:
The easiest way to pit an olive is to lay a wide chef's knife over it and smack the blade with your fist or the palm of your hand. The olive should split open, and the pit will pop right out.
