A delightful Mediterranean-inspired pasta dish featuring bow tie pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, and creamy feta cheese.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bow tie pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Add a splash of olive oil to the pasta water to prevent sticking.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to taste at this stage.
Add the cooked pasta and kalamata olives to the skillet. Toss to combine and heat through.
Ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the pasta mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added color and flavor.
