Author Jean Wilson

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. rotini pasta
  • 1/2 c. basil
  • 1 T. mint
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 c. olive oil
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1 t. pepper
  • 1/4 t. Tabasco
  • 1/2 lb. feta crumbles
  • 1/2 c. fresh Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, blend until smooth the tomatoes, basil, mint, garlic, oil, salt and pepper and Tabasco.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain and add to a large bowl. Add the feta and Parmesan cheese and stir together... the cheeses will melt into the pasta a bit.

  • Can be made a day ahead... store covered in the refrigerator.
  • Bring to room temperature to serve, adding the rest of the dressing right before serving.
