The kind of thing I always order in restaurants

     It is amazing how long I can make a meal last.  For example, today (sunday 6/12), I am still eating food that I cooked on thursday (6/9).  So, what did I make?  Whole wheat pasta with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives.  The kind of thing I always order in restaurants.  Best of all, it was way cheaper than restaurant fare (especially considering how many meals I have gotten out of it).

Whole wheat pasta with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives

Ingredients:

A bag of whole wheat pasta (I used the rotini kind)
Olives
Feta cheese
Sun-dried tomatoes
Pesto
  (1 cup basil leaves, 1-3 cloves garlic, 1/3 cup pine nuts, 3-6 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup olive oil)

Procedure:
1) Cook the whole wheat pasta
2) While the pasta is cooking, add all the ingredients for the pesto except the olive oil in a food processor until they are all finely chopped.  Add in the oil gradually while the food processor runs until it makes a paste.
3) Drain the pasta and then add in the rest of the ingredients to your flavor.
4) Enjoy with more parmesan cheese if you so desire!

     Delicious and easy!
