Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 5 oz whole wheat pasta (I used Gobetti)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 3 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 8 black olives, sliced
Sun-dried tomato sauce
  • 5 sun dried tomato halves (~1/4 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 TBS red wine vinegar
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 1 TBS water
  • ¼ tsp stone ground mustard
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  2. Toss with veggies and cheese.
Sun-dried Tomato Sauce
  1. Combine sun-dried tomatoes with orange juice and let sit 20-30 minutes. (I do this while the pasta is cooking.)
  2. In a mini food processor, combine the tomato and orange juice mixture with the rest of the ingredients. Process until smooth.
  3. Drizzle sauce over pasta a veggies. Serve immediately.
Notes
The sauce can be doubled and frozen for later use. The pasta will absorb the liquid, and should not be stored with the sauce.
