3. Add the tomatoes, oregano and optional wine to the pan, then cover and cook gently for 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes are quite soft.
4. Meanwhile, add the pasta to a pan of boiling salted water and cook according to the packet instructions - 3-4 minutes is usually enough.
5. Stone and chop the olives and stir them in with the tomatoes. Heat gently for 5 minutes and adjust the seasoning.
6. Drain the pasta and turn it into a serving dish. Pour over the tomato sauce, sprinkle over the Parmesan cheese, garnish with oregano and serve.
