Greek Pesto Pasta

This pasta dish makes a tasty, super quick dinner option for those nights you don’t feel like cooking much. It’s a riff off my my recipe for Greek pita pizza (which I still eat so often it’s embarrassing) and incredibly flavorful for being such a simple dish. You could easily throw this together in 20 min.

 Ingredients: (makes 2 servings)
8 oz dried linguine pasta 
1 small shallot, chopped fine
2 Tablespoons pesto
1/3 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup sliced kalamata olives
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions: Cook the pasta, drain and set aside.

 

In a skillet heat the oil, shallots, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Turn off the heat and add the pasta, pesto, olives, and feta. Toss to combine.

See how easy that was?

Serve and enjoy!
