BOW TIES WITH PESTO, FETA AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Bow Ties with Pesto, Feta and Cherry Tomatoes image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound bow tie pasta (farfalle)
3/4 cup Pesto, recipe follows
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, as needed

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: This is essential for making a delicious sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or goat's milk.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to lose its flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Farfalle with Tomatoes and Feta Cheese is a quick and easy pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with simple ingredients that are readily available, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant flavors and creamy texture, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
