Fresh veggies and flavorful feta cheese make this Mediterranean-inspired pasta dish big on flavor and short on prep time. Ingredients:
12 ounces dried penne pasta |
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes |
1 cup chopped or slivered fresh basil leaves |
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz.) |
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a 4- to 5-quart pan over high heat, bring 2 quarts water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender to bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, rinse, core, seed, and chop tomatoes. In a large bowl, mix tomatoes, basil, 1/2 cup feta, garlic, and olive oil. Add hot cooked pasta and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup feta.
