Easy Greek Pasta

Made this for a girls night in with Lauren, it was so yummy! Word of advice, I bought the Kalamata olives at Albertsons for $6.79, and right after went to Trader Joes to get some other stuff and the olives were $2.99!! Motto of this story, always go to Traders first. This recipe is SO easy and a must try to bring a little freshness into your day.

1 cup Italian parsley, chopped
1 cup feta cheese
7 cloves garlic, minced
1 box angel hair (would also be great with a penne or corkcrew pasta)
1 pint of tomatoes, I used grape tomatoes cut in 1/2
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper



Directions:
  • Cook the noodles according to the instructions.
  • Put the olive oil in a pan and start to saute the garlic, careful not to burn.
  • Add the tomatoes to the oil and begin to cook until they are just soft. Then add the pasta to the oil and stir.
  • Put the pasta mix in a bowl and add the feta, olives, salt and pepper and fresh herbs and mix to incorporate
  • Another good addition to this dish would be slightly chopped capers- would add a great zing to the pasta!
  • Serve up with a yummy side salad for a perfect, quick and easy dinner.
