not sure why it is called this....but i love pepperoncinis(does it have an e when plural?) and therefore i love this recipe... 1 pound seashell pasta 3 cups chopped tomatoes 5 cloves garlic, minced 15 kalamata olives, pitted and sliced 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 1/4 cup olive oil 10 pepperoncini Combine tomatoes, garlic, olives, basil, olive oil, and pepperoncinis. Stir together and allow to marinate as long as you have time for; overnight is best, although it's fine to eat right away too. Cook pasta according to the package directions; drain. Toss with sauce and serve.
