Vegetable Penne
Penne is one of the most well-known Italian pastas and is a speciality of the Campania region in southern Italy, which includes the cities of Naples, Sorrento and Capri. Penne means 'pen' in Italian, and it gets its name from its tube-shape, with angled ends cut to resemble a pen point or quill. The tubes have ridges which allow them to hold more sauce.
The sweet cherry tomatoes in this recipe add colour and flavour, and are complemented by the black olives and mixed peppers.
