Mom’s Lemon Pasta

1 pound of pasta
Any herbs
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Lemon, finely grated zest and juice
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Feta cheese

Directions

Active time: 7 minutes

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Blend the herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice in food processor. When pasta is al dente, drain and toss with herb mixture, salt and black pepper. Garnish with Feta cheese and lemon zest.

(I used Mueller’s Bowtie Pasta, McCormick Italian seasoning for my herbs. I also used Bertolli light olive oil, no salt or pepper, and Galbani Fresh Mozzarella instead of feta.)
