"Wow! Easy pasta dish showcasing Mediterranean flavors and feta cheese. Salty olives, tangy feta and tart sun dried tomatoes. Add the crunch of almonds and subtle heat of garlic. You can use any kind of pasta you like. My favorites are bow tie and egg noodles, but try spaghetti or even macaroni. Goes great as a side to chicken or fish. Satisfying as a meatless main dish pasta. Or, add some shrimp or sliced chicken in the first step to make it a one dish meal. Lots of room to get creative with this recipe. It's good. And super easy!"
