Pasta Salad with Tomatoes and Feta
Philippe, Tucson CSA
An easy and delicious pasta salad which you can serve warm or cold.
1 lb pasta (e.g. rotelli, fusilli)
1 medium onion
2 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
3-4 tomatoes, diced
1/4+ cup basil, finely chopped
1 cup arugula, finely chopped (optional)
1/2+ lb feta, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Boil and drain pasta according to pack instructions.
Mix crumbled feta to warm pasta, so that the feta melts a little.
Salad dressing: in a small food processor, or chopper, purée or finely chop the onion and the garlic in the olive oil.
Mix pasta, salad dressing and remaining ingredients. Don’t add too much salt as feta is already salty.
