BOW TIES WITH PESTO, FETA AND CHERRY TOMATOES
This is just one example of how a good pesto can be used so well in so many ways. People always rave about this combo and I can't blame 'em - it's one of those matches made in heaven. The pesto coats the warm pasta to make a creamy, rich sauce, which is accented by the crumbled feta and contrasted by the sweet and tart cherry tomatoes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Stir in the bow ties and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and run it under cold water just until it stops steaming. Bounce the pasta around to get rid of as much water as you can.
- Dump the pasta into a large serving bowl. Stir in the pesto until the pasta is coated. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and the crumbled feta. Taste the salad and season it as you like with salt and pepper. You can make the salad up to about 1 hour before you serve it. Check out the salt and pepper just before you serve the salad. If it's looking a little dry, add some olive oil and stir it around.
- Pesto:
- 5 big handfuls basil leaves (about 2 hefty bunches)
- 1/2 cup pine nuts or 3/4 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- Kosher salt
- About 20 grinds freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Place all ingredients with 1/2 cup of the oil in a blender and blend. Gradually drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup of oil until pesto is thick and smooth.
- Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold its shape well.
- Let the pasta cool slightly before adding the dressing: This will help the pasta to absorb the dressing better.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the pasta and dressing separately and then combine them just before serving.
Conclusion:
Bow ties with tomatoes, feta, and balsamic dressing is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's easy to make and perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
