Pictured above is the bow tie pasta toss we enjoyed warm days before my back surgery. I have enjoyed it cold during my recovery.
Bow Tie Pasta Toss
I discovered this recipe a few years ago in Southern Living -- refreshing as a main course or side dish.
8 ounces uncooked bow tie pastaPrepare pasta according to package directions, adding 1/2 teaspoon salt to water; drain well. Place pasta in a large bowl and stir in tomatoes, olives and garlic. Whisk together next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; add to pasta mixture, tossing to coat. Let stand 10 minutes; stir in feta. Garnish, if desired. (Substitute 6 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette for dressing, if desired.) Yield: 2-3 main dish servings or 4-6 side dish servings. (Note: I added a little red onion for extra flavor.)
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 small garlic clove, pressed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
Garnish: fresh oregano sprigs

Love this, Melissa!
Hope you're feeling better...
XO,
Sheila :-)
I wondered how you were doing. I hope you will keep us posted.
If I lived close to you IRL, I would make you a dessert or a salad! I love your love of *presentation* and I get a lot of ideas form you!
This looks really yummy.
The pasta dish looks so good! What a great summertime menu item! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us.
Hope that you are feeling better, but I want to remind you, that to recover you must not push yourself. I have multiple medical problems and want to jump up and at it, but I realize that I can't. Rest and let your family pamper you, as you are usually the one doing the pampering. Loving thoughts to you and your family!
It can't really have success, I feel so.
