Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine pasta, diced tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, olives, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

  2. 2

    Pour vegetable stock over everything and add olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium high. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Continue cooking until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, creating a sauce that coats the pasta.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The olives and feta add saltiness, so season carefully.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat and fold in most of the crumbled feta, reserving some for garnish.

  7. 7

    Serve in shallow bowls topped with remaining feta and torn fresh basil leaves.

Tips, Variations and Storage

Tips: Stir frequently to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. If sauce becomes too thick before pasta is cooked, add a splash more stock. Variations: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or white beans for extra protein. Swap spinach for the basil and wilt it in at the end. Storage: Stores refrigerated for 3 days. Add a splash of water or stock when reheating as pasta absorbs liquid over time.
