Mediterranean Style Pasta
(serves 2)
1. 200g penne
2. 300g cherry tomatoes sliced in half
3. Three cloves of garlic finely chopped
4. Five calamata olives, pitted and sliced in half.
5. One red chili chopped
6. Half tablespoon lemon juice
7. Feta
8. About 6 rocket leaves chopped
9. Salt and sugar to taste ( about 1-2 TSP of sugar depending on how sweet you like it or you can leave it out). I like to add sugar to mine.
Method
1. Heat about 5 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.
2. Add the garlic and chili and give it a quick fry, careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Add the tomatoes, olives, lemon juice, salt and sugar and simmer until the tomatoes are almost soft.
4. Cook your pasta while the sauce is simmering. Don't forget to add salt to your pasta water.
5. Just before your pasta is done crumble a nice amount of feta into your sauce and throw in the rocket leaves. Stir through.
6. Add your pasta to the sauce with a little of the pasta water and stir through till all the pasta is coated. Taste again to see if you have enough salt and/sugar
7. Serve with pecorino or parmesan cheese and extra feta and chili if you like
