Bell Pepper-Feta Pasta Toss


"This complete meal contains only 7 ingredients and takes under 30 minutes to prepare. Draining the pasta over the bell pepper may seem an unusual procedure, but it works great. This method cooks the pepper strips slightly before you toss them with the rest of the ingredients."
Original recipe yield: 4 servings.

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (4 ounce) package tomato basil feta cheese
