Instructions

Step 1

1. In a large salad bowl, add ingredients as you are preparing them in the above listed order: tomatoes, bell peppers, parsley, feta cheese, garlic, olive oil, and pepper.

Step 2

2. Cook pasta as per package instructions undercooking by 2-3 minutes or until pasta is al dente, cooked but firm. Add cooked pasta directly from the pot to salad bowl, this will allow hot pasta to melt feta cheese a bit and help flavors marry each other. A bit of pasta water transferring with pasta is fine.

Step 3

3. Add a pinch of salt and gently stir pasta salad just enough to combine. Serve warm or cold.
