Notes
- use cherry tomatoes
- any pasta of choice will work
- use fresh garlic if you can as opposed to garlic powder
- do try to use fresh basil to garnish
- any oil will work in place of olive oil
- do not overcook the pasta and don't forget to reserve some pasta water before draining.
- do not use crumbles feta in place of a whole block of feta. if you don't like feta cheese you can use other creamy cheese like goat cheese, burrata, or Boursin cheese.
- store leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 7 days
