Sometimes we don't have everything we need to make a dish. Here's Barbara's ... "used what I had" ... version. She subbed cherry or grape tomatoes for diced, omitted the black olives rather than open a fresh can, and since the spaghetti pasta was closer than the Penne, she went with that. Still beautiful, economical, and fresh, but slightly different.
