Calories: 445kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces gemelli pasta or any similar short noodle will work
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 cup chopped parsley
- ½ cup chopped basil
- 8 green onions chopped
- juice from 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 English cucumber chopped into small pieces
- ⅔ cups chopped walnuts
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boiling. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 11-12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- While pasta is cooking, make the dressing.
- In a food processor add the olive oil, parsley, basil, green onions, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Pulse until the herbs are finely chopped and it resembles a dressing.
- In a large bowl, add the cooked pasta, cucumbers, walnuts, and dressing. Toss well to combine.
- Add the feta and toss gently to combine.
- Serve topped with additional chopped green onions.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- You can prep this up to 1 day in advance. If it dries out at all, drizzle with a little olive oil and toss.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Again, if it seems at all dried out, just drizzle and toss with a little olive oil.
- This is delicious served as a side dish or topped with some grilled chicken or fish.
