This recipe came together in minutes one night when I needed a simple side and a meal at the same time.  I quickly scanned the fridge and pantry and a few minutes later, dinner was served.

I grilled some chicken and threw it on top, and served the whole thing on a bed of spinach.

Done and done.

Pesto + Feta Pasta Salad

  • 1 lb. pound of whole wheat or pasta plus noodles, cooked as directed.

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  1. Make pasta as directed.
  2. While pasta is cooking, drain tomatoes and add to a bowl with feta and pesto sauce.  Stir to combine.
  3. Immediately after draining pasta, dump hot pasta into the feta, tomato, pesto mixture.
