Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
