Mediterranean Pasta #FarmersMarketWeek

Pasta tossed with garden fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, pine nuts, and feta cheese.  A quick, delicious, warm meatless main meal in less than half an hour. 

The leftovers were just as delicious cold the following day when served as a side dish to our grilled burgers.
