My Favourite Pasta

This is great for a quick pasta dinner when you want some goodness, but don't have time to make a napolitana sauce. It's also great for lunch the next day, but watch the garlic...

120g penne pasta
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
S&P
2 handfuls of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
bunch of basil, chopped
80g smooth Tasmanian feta
two handfuls of rocket, torn

Boil pasta.
While waiting for pasta to cook, grab two large noodle bowls and pour approximately a tablespoon of your best olive oil in each. Crush half a clove of garlic into each bowl, sliced cherry tomatoes and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir. Smell the heady fragrance of fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil and oil. Add the feta, crumbling into the bowl.
Drain pasta and divide into the two bowls. Add rocket to the top and use a fork to mix all the ingredients through.
Serve with a nice red.
