Oh my gawd! This is so delicious!
What you’ll need:
1 package of Bowtie pasta (400 grams)
6 oz. of feta
6 oz. of plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup packed down fresh basil
1/2 cup of pine nuts
1/3 cup good quality olive oil (you can use more if you like but start with that)
fresh minced garlic to your taste (I use 3 cloves)
salt and pepper to taste (feta and parmesan are already salty so you don’t need a lot)
I cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
Whip together feta and Greek yogurt in a food processor until creamy and set aside in a bowl.
Don’t bother to clean the food processor you used to make the whipped feta. Add basil, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, and pine nuts and process until smooth. Add whipped feta to your desired creaminess. You can use it all or not! Add any salt or pepper to your taste.
Boil salted water for bowtie pasta and follow directions for desired tenderness.
Immediately after draining the pasta stir in the creamy pesto and top with cherry tomatoes.
Best Pesto Ever!
