At the core of this recipe's allure is its unique combination of ingredients. The star of the show, penne pasta, is cooked to al dente perfection and then generously coated in a rich, homemade Greek-style tomato sauce. This sauce is where the magic happens, infused with the essence of fresh basil, parsley, and a hint of red wine vinegar, it brings a refreshing zest to the dish. The addition of marinated artichoke hearts and sliced ripe black olives introduces a delightful Mediterranean twist, while the crumbled feta cheese adds a salty, tangy depth that balances the sweetness of the tomatoes.
To elevate this dish to a gourmet experience, a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper, a pinch of salt, and a touch of sugar are carefully calibrated to enhance every bite. The pièce de résistance is the Greek seasoning, which, if you're following the chef's recommendation, Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning, adds an authentic, aromatic flair that's hard to resist.
