Ingredients
- 12 oz pasta (penne or farfalle)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (julienned)
- 2 cups snap peas (trimmed)
- 3 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup reserved pasta water
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Add the julienned sun-dried tomatoes and snap peas to the skillet. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until the snap peas are slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Step 6
Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil leaves.
Step 8
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with additional feta or basil if desired.
