Noodles with Tomato, Basil, and Feta

I was reminded of this great summertime supper, because I was looking for something easy, quick, yummy, and a way to use my CSA bounty. Enjoy!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 8-10 minutes (depends on your pasta preference)
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
1 Package noodles (Udon, Soba, whatever you like or have on hand)
2-3 Tomatoes washed and chopped (or a whole bunch of cherry or sungold tomatoes)
1 cup Basil leaves chopped
½-1 cup Crumbled Feta cheese
1-2 cloves of minced garlic
½ cup Olive oil
Sea salt to taste

Tools/Equipment
Knife and cutting board
Stove and heavy pot for cooking pasta
Colander to drain pasta

Directions
1.    Cook pasta according to package directions.
2.    While pasta is cooking combine other ingredients in large bowl.
3.    Drain pasta.
4.    Toss tomato mixture together with pasta and enjoy!

Variations
For a nice twang, drizzle with a little Balsalmic Reduction (see below).
Use a little more or a little less of all ingredients to your taste.
Let tomato mixture sit for an hour before serving.

Balsamic Reduction
1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
2 T sugar
2 cloves garlic (if desired)- can leave whole

Place in saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced and slightly thick- approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Take out garlic before serving. Flavor is pungent- use sparingly!
