Ingredients :

- 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, cut into 1” cubes

- 3 large red bell peppers, seeded and chopped

- 1/2 cup parsley or dill, finely chopped

- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

- 1 large garlic clove, grated

- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- Pinch of salt

- Ground black pepper, to taste

- 2 cups (8 oz) any short whole wheat or gluten free pasta, uncooked

Instructions : In a large salad bowl, add ingredients as you are preparing them in the above listed order: tomatoes, bell peppers, parsley, feta cheese, garlic, olive oil and pepper. Cook pasta as per package instructions undercooking by 2-3 minutes or until pasta is al dente, cooked but firm. Add cooked pasta directly from the pot to salad bowl, this will allow hot pasta to melt feta cheese a bit and help flavours marry each other. A bit of pasta water transferring with pasta is fine.

Add a pinch of salt and gently stir pasta salad just enough to combine. Serve warm or cold.
