Pasta is one of my weaknesses, as is Mediterranean food. This combination is one of my all-time favorites. I love feta cheese, olives, and fresh tomatoes. This meal can be served cold or hot — as a light grab-and-go lunch or a refreshing dinner.

INGREDIENTS

One 16-ounce package shell pasta
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
One 14-ounce can peeled and diced tomatoes
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
2/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
2 tablespoons olive juice from a jar

DIRECTIONS

Cook the pasta in a large pot as instructed on the package. Drain the cooked pasta and pour it into a large bowl. Add the olive oil, oregano, tomatoes, cheese, olives, and olive juice to the pasta. Mix well and serve.
