Pasta with black olives and rosemary

I threw this together one winter evening when we got home late. I had been planning to try such a recipe for a while but this was the first time all the ingredients were in the kitchen.

The quantities here make just enough for Sveta and I. You'll have to scale up accordingly if you're feeding more people.

Ingredients

180-240g of pasta
2 tomatoes
A handful of pitted black olives (about 60g)
2 cloves of garlic
A third of a teaspoon of dried rosemary
A half teaspoon of sesame seeds
Olive oil
Salt

Cook the pasta in some boiling salted water and while it's cooking, chop the tomatoes, olives and garlic. When the pasta is ready, turn on the heat under a large frying pan containing some olive oil. By the time you've drained the pasta, the oil should be hot, so throw in the sesame seeds and garlic. After twenty seconds or so, add the tomatoes, garlic, rosemary and a pinch of salt. Turn off the heat, add the drained pasta to the pan, stir and serve.
