Allow me to suggest my recipe for Tuscan Pasta Salad, also known as, Mediterranean Style Pasta Salad. If you love Feta Cheese, Pasta, and Mediterranean food, especially farfalle pasta? This is it!

Let's get started! For this recipe, you'll need:

                                                                     16 oz Farfalle or, any short Pasta
                                                                     2 Tsp Dried Oregano
                                                                     1/2 lb Crumbled Valbreso Feta Cheese
                                                                     1/4 Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes (more to taste)

We'll start by bringing some salted water to a boil, then add in our farfalle pasta, give it a quick stir, and add in a drizzle of olive oil. Cook for 7 minutes, remove from heat, strain, and return to a pot or bowl. In a separate bowl, using a fork, mash some of the Feta cheese, and add the dried Oregano to it. Next, add it to the pasta, followed by the sun dried tomatoes. Stir to combine. Be sure to taste the dish and, adjust the seasoning levels. Add the pinch of salt, and pepper, then stir once more. Set aside in the refrigerator in order for the flavors to come together, at least 2 to 4 hours before serving!
