Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 lbs ripe tomatoes (chopped)
  • 3 large red bell peppers (seeded and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup basil, parsley or dill (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1 large garlic clove (grated)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 cups (8 oz) any short pasta (uncooked)

Instruction

  • In a large salad bowl, add ingredients as you are preparing them in the above listed order: tomatoes, bell peppers, basil, feta cheese, garlic, olive oil and pepper.
  • Cook pasta as per package instructions undercooking by 2-3 minutes or until pasta is al dente, cooked but firm. Drain.
  • Add cooked pasta directly from the pot to salad bowl. This will allow hot pasta to melt feta cheese a bit and help flavours marry each other. A bit of pasta water transferring with pasta is fine.
  • Add a pinch of salt and gently stir pasta salad just enough to combine. Serve warm or cold.
