Get Your 'Olive' On!

The Friends of the Wagner Ranch Nature Center's Olive Festival and Olive Recipe Contest is just around the corner. This is the fifth year of the event, but it will be the inaugural recipe contest, so I want to encourage all of you wonderful cooks to get your recipes ready for the event. The Olive Festival will take place on Sunday, Oct. 12, from 1 to 4 p.m. and the dishes are due to the judging panel by 1 p.m. Judging will be conducted and winners announced at 2:30 p.m. during the festival, and prizes will be awarded! Be sure to bring copies of your recipes to hand out at the event.

In anticipation of the Olive Festival, I wanted to create a new olive recipe, especially since we love olives in almost anything! This is a quick and easy pasta dish, made with cracked green olives and Kalamata olives, along with arugula and cherry tomatoes. I used quinoa pasta, because we have a lot of readers out there who are interested in gluten-free, but any rotelli or fusilli pasta you like would be wonderful with it.

Enjoy and good luck with the recipe contest! I look forward to trying the winning recipes for a future column.
