A tantalizingly fragrant dish that tempts everyone in the house to the kitchen. It’s hard to resist eating every bit of it hot, but cold leftovers are also yummy. Sauté onion and garlic in oil for about five minutes before adding in the shrimp for a delicious garlicky flavor base. Then, cook the tomato and olives. Add in the penne, feta cheese, oregano and cheese for the ultimate one-dish dinner. Serve this for a weeknight supper or when company's coming. For a side dish, prepare a tossed salad.
