all time favorite olive — I’ve been known to eat an entire jar of pitted Kalamatas in a sitting. When I’ve been able to show olive-eating restraint, I love tossing Kalamatas in pasta with whatever greens and veggies I have on hand. This vegan pasta recipe features olives, spinach, roasted peppers, and lots of fresh herbs.
