Pasta With Lemon-Olive Sauce

Directions

1. 1
   Cook pasta until just al dente.
2. 2
   Meanwhile melt 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan.
3. 3
   Finely dice the olives and add to the pan, along with most of the juice from the lemon, and zest from the lemon.
4. 4
   Use good quality olives (otherwise it is not worth making the dish).
5. 5
   I used Moroccan oil-cured olives and Crespo brand marinated green olives.

   Let this simmer for a few minutes and then add the tomato paste, marjoram, the rest of the butter, and the rest of the lemon juice.
7. 7
   Stir together to dissolve the tomato paste.
8. 8
   Add cooked pasta and serve with freshly ground pepper.
