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.
