Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb bow tie pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

  • Add tomatoes and olives and saute for about 3 minutes, until heated through and softened.
  • Pour sauce over pasta and top with Feta cheese.
  • Cover for a minute so cheese and flavors meld.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: This will give your pasta the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned or crushed tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them watery.
  • Cook the tomatoes until they're softened and slightly caramelized: This will bring out their sweetness and flavor.
  • Add the pine nuts and basil at the end: This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Pasta with tomatoes is best served immediately, while the tomatoes are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Pasta with tomatoes, pine nuts, and basil is a simple but delicious dish that's perfect for a quick and easy meal.
