At our house we call it "Antonella's Pasta". A dear friend of mine, Pierpaolo, visited us from Italy a couple of years ago. I asked him to show me one of his favorite pasta dishes and he whipped this up. He said his wife, Antonella, made it for him on warm summer evenings in Soave. And believe me, there's nothing better than to sit outside on a warm summer's evening in Soave eating this dish with some wonderful cool Soave white wine made from the grapes that are about arm's length from where you're sitting.
I feel lucky that I've shared this experience with Pierpaolo and Antonella.
The dish is very simple.
Your favorite pasta, penne or farfalle work best. Cooked as normal "al dente".
In a large bowl, add sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, slivers of garlic, some feta cheese, a few capers ,pour some extra virgin olive oil over everything, toss and then garnish with some fresh basil. As we used to say in my day "boy oh boy!!_
