Method
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta one minute less than package directions. Drain pasta, and toss with olive oil. Place pasta flat on a sheet pan to cool.
Step 2
Cut the feta in pieces about the same size as the tomatoes. Tip: wet the knife at each cut to avoid crumbling the feta.
Step 3
Add pasta, tomatoes, olives and feta to a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add pesto; toss to combine and serve. Optional: If you want a stronger flavor, add half of a red onion thinly sliced.
Penne Pasta
It takes only 11 minutes to express your emotions preparing a beautiful dish of Penne for the people you care for the most.
One of the most famous Italian pasta shapes and loved across Italy, Penne, which means "pen" in Italian, gets its name from its shape. The tube-shape with angled ends was inspired by the quill of an old style ink pen.
