Pasta Siciliano

You would be hard pressed to find a pasta dish I don't like.  Now of course, if you put liver or sushi on it, I probably won't eat it but you get the general idea.  With the feta in this, you would think it might be called Pasta Santorini! :)

1 16oz. pkg. farfalle pasta
1/4 C. olive oil
3 cloves chopped garlic
1 tsp. dried crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 C. pine nuts
1 2.25oz. can sliced black olives
1/2 C. chopped sun dried tomatoes
1 C. crumbled feta cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.  Place pasta in the pot.  Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, then drain.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the garlic until lightly browned.  Mix in red pepper and lemon juice.  Stir in pine nuts, olives and sun dried tomatoes.  Toss in the cooked pasta and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
