A wonderful meatless pasta meal served with crusty bread. The herbs give great flavor to the dish, and the combination of tomatoes, feta and olives can't be beat.
1 lb. package fresh angel hair pasta 1-4 Cup olive oil 1 TB. parsley 1 tsp. cracked rosemary 1 tsp. basil 1-2 tsp. marjoram 1 can of diced tomatoes 1 small can of chopped black olives 1-2 TB. balsamic or red wine vinegar 4 oz of crumbled feta cheese
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While the water for the pasta is heating, mix olive oil, parsley, rosemary, basil and marjoram together and let stand for 5 minutes. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, which is usually only 3-4 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. Serve with crusty French bread.
