Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Feta

So last night for dinner I made a great pasta dish. I brought the leftovers for lunch today. It was really great. Actually, for lunch I did not heat it up and decided to go for a cold pasta dish and it was fabulous, especially on a hot day like today...80 degrees here in Ohio! Wahoo! So, to this dish you could add some shrimp if you wanted some protein. Shrimp would be a really great addition.


Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Feta
Serves 4

Ingredients:

3/4 box Barilla Whole Grain Pasta
3 cloves of garlic minced
2 small yellow onions chopped
1 container of all natural pureed tomatoes
1 tbs. of honey
1 tbs. of Italian seasoning
4 sprigs of fresh parsley
4 tbs. of feta cheese
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook for about 6-8 minutes. Strain once the pasta is fully cooked. Meanwhile, chop the onion and garlic and add into a saute pan drizzled with olive oil. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium-high heat. Slowly add the all natural tomatoes and reduce the heat to low-medium. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the honey, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Let cook an additional 5 minutes. Before you serve, sprinkle with some fresh parsley and feta cheese.


This dish is really good and I love the honey that I put in it because it adds a sweet taste to the tomatoes and binds together nicely. The feta melts easily on this dish and really adds a nice flavor to it!
