Olive Pesto, Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Feta Pasta
15 mins prepServes 4
A quick and satisfying pasta dish featuring homemade olive pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese, packed with classic Mediterranean flavors. Olives offer a unique alternative to traditional basil or cilantro pesto.
To make the olive pesto: In your food processor or blender, blitz the olives and garlic together. Add half of your extra virgin olive oil and pulse again. Add your herbs (basil or thyme), the walnuts and cheese (parmesan) if using, and the rest of your oil slowly. Blend until it reaches a chunky pesto consistency. Transfer the pesto to a bowl, add the juice of 1/2 lemon, and mix well to highlight the natural flavors.
For a single serving of this pasta: Combine 1/4 cup of the prepared olive pesto, 1/3 cup of feta chunks, 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes, and a handful of arugula or spinach. Add pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.
