This pasta with charred veggies, salty crumbles of feta, and a big squeeze of lemon comes together for the most leisurely weeknight dinner (or dinner party side) you’ll make all summer. It’s fresh, bright, and addictively delicious!

Equipment

  • 1 6-qt pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pasta, penne cooked to package directions
  • 4 cups vegetables, grilled chopped
  • 2 whole lemons zest and juice of one lemon, second lemon for serving
  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup lemon infused olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped
  • black pepper fresh ground
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the grilled vegetables by chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve one cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Return the pasta to the pot.
  • Add the chopped grilled vegetables, feta cheese, and fresh herbs.
  • Toss the pasta and veggies with half of the pasta water, lemon-infused olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. The pasta water will help to bind all the ingredients together. Don't expect the feta cheese to melt, it will still be crumbly in texture but definitely lend to coating the pasta and veggies with all the cheesy goodness.
  • Taste and adjust feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, fresh ground black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Storage and leftovers

  • Store this pasta recipe in an airtight container with a lid.
  • Best served room temp or warm.
  • To warm up, use a nonstick pan and reheat on a low setting.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon right before serving to revive the flavors. I also love to add a bit more feta cheese and herbs.
  • This pasta keeps up to three days in the fridge.
