How to Make Rustic Mediterranean Pasta With Tomatoes
- Halve 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes and place them in a large bowl.
- Thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion.
- Coarsely chop 1/2 cup Kalamata olives.
- Add the sliced onion and chopped olives to the tomatoes.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon dried basil.
- Gently stir to combine.
- Let the mixture stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add 8 ounces of your favorite pasta (e.g., penne, rotini) and cook according to package directions.
- Add 1/4 cup raisins to the boiling pasta water during the last minute of cooking.
- Before draining the pasta, reserve 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water.
- Drain the pasta and raisins. Add them to the tomato mixture and stir to combine.
- If the pasta seems too dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Spoon the pasta into bowls and sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of toasted pine nuts.
