Ingredients and Substitutions:

  • Grape tomatoes: you can use cherry tomatoes instead or a cherry tomato medley.
  • Feta cheese: if you do not like Feta cheese, you can use goat cheese, Halloumi, Ricotta, or Queso Fresco.
  • Italian seasoning: Herbes de Provence is a good substitute for Italian seasoning, but you can add your favorite herbs and spices, like red pepper flakes.
  • Olive oil: do not substitute this oil for any other.
  • Chopped basil: You can use basil pesto if you don’t have fresh basil. Add a couple of tablespoons of pesto, and reduce the amount of olive oil to 3 tablespoons.
  • Bow tie pasta: any short pasta is suitable for this dish. Penne, macaroni, orecchiette, conchiglie, or any other short pasta are great substitutes.
  • You can add other ingredients like chopped roasted bell peppers, olives, canned artichokes, or fresh spinach leaves.

Storing Leftovers:

Wait until the pasta is room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Refrigerate them for up to 4 days.

To reheat, add a tablespoon of water to the pasta and microwave for 2 or more minutes, covered, until hot. I do not recommend freezing this pasta.
