penne pasta
1
(12 ounce) package
extra-virgin olive oil
⅓
cup
cherry tomatoes, halved
16
ounces
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
crumbled feta cheese
2
cups
chopped fresh basil
3
tablespoons
 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are soft and have released their juices, 5 to 10 minutes.
  Drain the pasta and immediately add to the pan of tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and toss to coat. Add feta cheese, and basil and stir through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
