Ingredients
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, halved, seeded, and chopped
1 cup chopped green onions, white and pale green parts only
7 ounces crumbled feta cheese
6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces penne pasta
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, green onions, crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, fresh dill, and extra-virgin olive oil. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly. Allow the mixture to rest at room temperature while you prepare the pasta.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package directions, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite. This typically takes 8 to 12 minutes.
Drain the cooked pasta thoroughly in a colander. While the pasta is still hot, add it directly to the tomato and feta mixture in the large bowl.
Toss the hot pasta with the tomato mixture until all the pasta is well coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed. The residual heat from the pasta will warm the tomatoes and soften the cheese slightly.
Taste the dish and season with additional salt and black pepper as needed. Serve immediately while the pasta is still warm.
