Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 12 oz pasta e.g., rotini
  • 8 ounces feta cheese crumbled
  • 3 cups arugula

Method
 

  1. Bring a salted pot of water to a boil.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium-high heat until tomatoes start bursting and other veggies are tender, approximately 10 minutes.
  3. Simultaneously, boil pasta until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
  4. In the pan with the veggies, stir in crumbled feta and cook until it melts into a creamy sauce.
  5. Toss pasta with the veggie-feta sauce, stirring in arugula to wilt. Use pasta water to loosen if needed.
  6. Serve warm.
