Pico De Gallo Pasta






















I've been pretty obsessed with Pico de Gallo lately, so why not put it into pasta? The result? Amazingness.... see for yourself!

Ingredients:
- 5 fresh tomatoes - diced
- 1 small white onion, minced
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, minced
- handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
- whole what fusilli
- olive oil
- 1 tablespoon feta cheese
- 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese grated
- salt
- pepper
- crushed red pepper flakes

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

In the meantime, place diced tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix ingredients together.

When the pasta is ready, drain the pasta and immediately add into the bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Add another 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (if desired). Lastly, add in the feta cheese and top with the grated pepper jack cheese.

Serve immediately.
