Ingredients

  • 400g (14 oz) pasta (like penne or fusilli)
  • 200g (7 oz) Schafskäse (feta cheese), crumbled
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for added heat
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Instruction:

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add the garlic and red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
  5. Reduce the heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese. Mix until slightly melted.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Stir in fresh basil, parsley, lemon zest, and juice.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with additional crumbled feta and herbs if desired.
