How to Make Bell Pepper Feta Pasta Toss

  1. Cook 8 ounces of pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
  2. While pasta cooks, thinly slice 1 medium bell pepper (any color) and place in a colander.
  3. Once pasta is cooked, drain it directly over the sliced bell pepper in the colander to slightly steam the pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the drained pasta and bell pepper with 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (drained), 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of fresh flavors!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
