Ingredients

• 8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cups kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.5 cups reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups reserved pasta water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still hold their shape.

Step 4

Stir in the halved kalamata olives, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss gently to combine with the tomato and olive mixture.

Step 6

Add the reserved pasta water, fresh lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Toss again until the pasta is evenly coated and the ingredients are well mixed.

Step 7

Remove from heat and divide the pasta into 4 servings. Top each portion with crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your healthy Greek Penne Pasta dish!
