Here is the recipe Melanie Cedargren of The Spicy Olive prepared on The Fox 19 Morning Show. This pasta dish is simply delicious but also very simple. You could make this a main dish with a salad and bread to round out the meal, or it can be a great side dish to accompany a grilled steak!

At The Spicy Olive, we invite you to taste the difference fresh makes!
The fresh olive oils from the Northern Hemisphere are now at The Spicy Olive! Freshness is so important to an olive oil. All the good things that make olive oil healthy for you dissipate and disappear over time. The polyphenols, anti-oxidants and anti inflammatory agents found in olive oil break down over time and exposure to light, heat and air. Think about that the next time you are in a grocery store looking at the rows of olive oil. The consumer has no idea when that olive oil was crushed, usually they don’t know the country of origin and many of the bottles of oil are in clear glass under the bright store lights, the polyphenols and other healthy components are no longer in that olive oil!
The New England Journal of Medicine released a study on February 25, 2013 showing dramatic reduction of cardiovascular events in people consuming a diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil. A total of 7447 persons were enrolled in this study (age range 55-80 years) . Among persons with high cardiovascular risk, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with fresh extra virgin olive oil reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events (30% reduction).
February is heart health month! This is a great time to look at the wonderful benefits olive oil has to keep your heart functioning properly. So many people are aware that olive oil is healthy, but many do not know why. Here is a short synopsis of what olive oil has in it and how those components benefit your heart health!
