Lemon, Basil and Feta Pasta






















I am very pleased with this new creation. This pasta is simple, yet super delicious. These three flavors are all very distinct and they work extremely well together. You can literally taste the flavors bursting in your mouth. This is a winner every time.





Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs pasta (any variety)
- 12 oz. container of feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 lemon
- fresh basil, 15 leaves, chopped
- olive oil
- crushed red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta about 8-9 minutes until al-dente.

Drain the pasta and place into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil and toss together. Add the container of feta cheese and the chopped basil. Zest one teaspoon of lemon zest and add into the mix. Then sqeeze out 1/2 of the lemon, avoiding the seeds.

Toss pasta together and coat everything evenly. Add salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste.

Serve immediatly.
