Dilute the tomato sauce in a cup of water. Pit and chop the olives. Boil and drain the noodles. Place the oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and put on a high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the garlic and pour in the diluted tomato sauce, olives and bay leaves. Boil until the liquid thickens.

Put the noodles in a serving dish, spread the sauce over them, and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Decorate with a few black olives.
