Tomato, Olive and Feta Pasta

When you’re low on time and low on ingredients but you still want lots of flavor, this is an easy dish that will please a variety of palates. Also good when you’re entertaining vegetarians. Cottage cheese is a natural side dish, adding more protein to the meal. (Though one of my testers said it was terrific with ham.)

Cook pasta according to package directions. In a skillet or saucepan, stir together oil, tomatoes, olives, basil and garlic. Cook over medium heat, simmering gently for about 5 minutes (longer if you wish). Pour over pasta and toss. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup Feta (or to your liking) over the top of each serving. Great hot or cold.
