Linguine and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

I love sun-dried tomatoes!  Here is a quick and easy pasta recipe you'll love.

16 oz. package of linguine

7 oz. jar sun dried tomatoes in oil

1/4 cup pine nuts

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 oz. package crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons thin fresh basil strips

Prepare the linguine according to package directions.

Drain the tomatoes, reserving 2 tablespoons oil.  Cut the tomatoes into thin strips.

Heat pine nuts in a large skillet, over medium-low heat, stirring often, 5 minutes or until toasted and fragrant.  Remove the nuts from skillet.

Increase heat to medium, and saute garlic in 2 tablespoons reserved oil and olive oil in the skillet one minute or until garlic is fragrant.  Stir in tomatoes and remove from heat.

Toss together tomato mixture, hot cooked pasta, feta cheese, and basil in large bowl.  Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.

Mmmm. . . delicious!
