Recipe for 4

A wonderful meat free pasta meal. The herbs give great flavour to the dish, and the combination of tomatoes, feta and olives can't be beaten. As I was cooking for a child with a wheat allergy, I used Vegetable Pasta (Wheat and Gluten Free)

Method

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While the water for the pasta is heating, mix olive oil, parsley, rosemary, sage, basil and marjoram together and let stand for 5 minutes. Wash, then quarter the cherry tomatoes, and chop the olives if you have whole ones.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions, which is usually only 5 minutes or so for angel hair pasta.
When the pasta is almost done cooking, add the vinegar, feta cheese, olives and tomatoes to the oil and mix lightly. Drain the pasta and rinse briefly. Toss the pasta and sauce together.
Sprinkle with chopped red peppers if desired. Serve with crusty French bread.
