Basil and Olive Ziti

Basil and Olive Ziti at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

Some recipes don’t need a long ingredient list — they just need the right ingredients.

This Basil and Olive Ziti is one of those dishes I turn to when I want something easy but full of flavor. The combination of briny black olives, our Herb Blend, and Basil Premium Olive Oil creates a pasta that feels fresh and balanced without being heavy.

I love letting the olive oil sit with the herbs for a few minutes before tossing it with the pasta. It gives the flavors time to wake up and mingle. The basil olive oil brings a soft, garden-fresh note that makes the whole dish feel light and satisfying.

It’s perfect as a simple weeknight dinner, a side for grilled chicken, or even served chilled as part of a summer spread. Sometimes the most dependable recipes are the ones you come back to again and again.
