103 33
This recipe is really different, and a very easy pasta dish to make.
It has some really powerful flavor combinations with the walnuts, sun dried tomatoes, the fresh basil, parmesan cheese, and the feta cheese.
It will go really well with a nice salad, with a home made vinaigrette, and some garlic bread.
You can always add some very good Italian style olives, if you want to add that flavor profile to this dish.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe, it is easy, and it tastes delicious.
