Pasta with feta cheese and olives
Pasta with feta cheese and olives recipe is also completely vegetarian and if you would like to make it vegan, you can do that relatively easily by omitting the feta. There may be a vegan version of feta. I don’t really know, but that would be a good substitute for the feta. You do need that salty to give it a bit of spice.
Prepare the pasta with feta cheese and olives
To make the pasta, take a large pan. Keep in mind that you are going to prepare all ingredients in this one pan. Incidentally, you can also use other pasta if you do not have orechiette. The pasta with feta is also delicious if it is a penne with feta.
Do take into account possibly different cooking times. Preferably do not take pressure cooker elbows. They will fall apart when you use them for this dish.
