Ingredients

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta
• ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cups crumbled feta cheese
• 16 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are soft and have released their juices, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the pasta and immediately add to the pan of tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and toss to coat. Add feta cheese, and basil and stir through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
