Ingredients

  • Salt
  • 2 tablespoons EVOO
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved if large
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 pound penne with ridges (penne rigate)
  • 12 ounces Greek feta, crumbled (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.

Heat the EVOO in a large skillet or pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium to medium-high heat. Melt the butter into the oil. When the butter begins to foam, add the oregano, garlic and onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the tomatoes have burst and the sauce is thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the pasta.

Stir the sauce, then add the feta and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and the reserved cooking liquid and toss to combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with the mint and parsley, and serve.

    I made everything in the Rustic Greek episode. I was so excited that I forgot the skewers! This was EASY! And DELICIOUS! Cleaning the shrimp got on my nerves a little bit but I discovered I have the talent of following directions....I also discovered that my knives need to be sharpened or replaced.

    This was a terrific meal. Light, fresh, and easy to make. I think the fresh herbs really make the difference.

    How good is this!
    Easy and quick with the fresh oregano and mint making a terrific difference! As per some other reviewers I added thawed peas. I also added shrimp to make a complete light meal. Even my husband, who has recently decided he "doesn't like" Feta, ate two helpings.
