1 lb bow tie pasta (Farfalle)

Steps:

For the pesto, place all ingredients with ½ cup of the oil in a blender and blend.
Gradually drizzle in the remaining ¼ cup of oil until pesto is thick and smooth.

Dump the pasta into a large serving bowl.
Stir in the pesto until the pasta is coated.
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and the crumbled feta.
Taste the salad and season it as you like with salt and pepper.
You can make the salad up to about 1 hour before you serve it.
