    Roasted tomatoes, feta and basil are the true stars in this must-have pasta salad.

    Ingredients

    • 1 15 oz box of whole wheat fusilli
    • 3/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled
    • 1 pint grape tomatoes
    • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
    • olive oil
    • S & P
    • For the dressing:
    • 5 sund-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
    • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
    • 6 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1 garlic clove
    • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
    • 1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
    • S & P

    Directions

    1. Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Wash and cut grape tomatoes in half length-wise. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place tomatoes face down on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Roast for 45 – 60 minutes, depending on your oven and the size of your tomatoes. They should be slightly charred, but not falling apart, when done.
    2. When the tomatoes are half-way through cooking, heat a large pot of salted water to a boil on medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, cook pasta according to package instructions
    3. In the meantime, prepare your dressing. Add all ingredients to a food process and blend until fully incorporated (you may have to scrape down sides). Adjust seasoning with salt & pepper.
    4. Toss together cooked pasta, dressing, roasted tomatoes and feta cheese. Lastly, incorporate the basil and adjust salt and pepper – if needed
