Wheat Grain Penne Puttanesca

Meat-less Fridays have become to be a struggle for me :P. You see, I am not really used to cooking meat-less dishes because my boys are big meat-lovers and eaters. But because of Lent, they started to develop a strong liking for meat-less meals. Last Friday, DH requested that I make him Wheat Grain Penne Puttanesca for his Dinner. He had a long day from searching on door hardware, bank errands and bringing DS to and fro gym classes and preschool. So as the loving wifey (ehem ehem!), I obliged. Here is the quick recipe, again from my Mom's recipe book :P.
