Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked bowtie farfalle pasta
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Method
 

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the bowtie pasta according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. This will keep the pasta from becoming mushy.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the pasta is cooking, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Rinse your fresh spinach leaves thoroughly.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled bowtie pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh spinach leaves.
  4. Add the Feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring that it mixes well with the other ingredients without breaking into tiny pieces.
  5. Season the Salad: Drizzle olive oil over the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well combined.
  6. Serve: Your Bow Tie Pasta Salad is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it chilled or at room temperature.
