    Olive Sauce
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    1/4 cup kalamata olive, pitted and chopped

    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped

    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    Garnishes
    2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Preparation
    The sauce for this recipe is to be cooked quickly over a high flame so it is recommended that you have all ingredients preped and ready when you begin.
    Start by placing the olive sauce ingredients into a bowl and set aside. Place pasta into a large pot of boiling salted water. (Penne generally takes 10-12 minutes to cook al dente).
    When pasta is about 3-4 minutes from done, melt the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the garlic. Add the olive sauce and let it simmer until pasta is ready.
    Drain pasta well, return it to the pot and stir in 2/3 of the sauce. Place the pasta onto a serving plate and pour the rest of the sauce over top. Sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh basil.
