While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. (1-2 minutes)

1 mins
Remove from heat and gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for enhanced flavor and texture. Watch them carefully, as they burn easily.
Use good-quality, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the best flavor. If using dry-packed, rehydrate them in hot water for about 15 minutes before chopping.
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the skillet after cooking the garlic, allowing it to reduce slightly before adding the other ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. The amount of red pepper flakes can be adjusted to your preference.

Sep 23, 2022So easy to make and full of flavor. I used sun-dried tomatoes that weren't oil-packed and it still turned out great.
