Greek God Pasta

So I forgot to take pictures again. Oops! This was a pretty good recipe. It think it needed more cheese throughout, not just on top. I used more feta than that. I don't know how "Greek" this really is except for the feta cheese. I just used what ever pasta I had on hand - farfalle I think. I scaled the recipe back a little, because it made a lot. We had leftovers for a few days.

Greek God Pasta
  • 1 (16 ounce) package whole wheat rotini pasta
  • 1 (16 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rotini pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and pour into a deep casserole dish.
  3. Stir tomatoes, green pepper, green onion, olives and tomato sauce into the pasta. Season with basil and oregano and mix until evenly blended. Sprinkle mozzarella and feta cheese over the top.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
