mediterranean pasta

Talk about a quick dinner - by the time the pasta is done, so are the rest of your ingredients. Mix it all together and you're sitting down to dinner in about 25 minutes. I like to add just a bit of the oil from the sundried tomatoes. And if your garden is bursting, add some fresh tomato, too! Be cautious with the salt until your olives and feta are in the same bowl - but I still add a little sprinkle of salt and pepper the heck out of it! No parsley? Use fresh oregano or rosemary.
