pasta hero 3This pasta is so quick and delicious. Bulking it up with fresh tomatoes helps reduce the calories while adding a burst of flavor that perfectly complements the tangy sun-dried tomatoes and feta.

awesome pasta I love
I fell in love with this beautiful pasta we found at the Embarcadero Farmers’ Market in San Francisco and decided this would be the perfect recipe to complement it’s unique coloring. Of course, this is just as tasty with your standard rotini, farfalle, or penne.

    That picture of your pasta made me squeeeee in delight! All of that tomato drama against the black & white stripes is exquisite. Off to check out their website! (They should probably be offering you a kick-back for the influx of sales … 😉 )

      I know! Aren’t they gorgeous?! My husband still teases me because of the way I stared that them longingly for a solid 40 minutes on our drive up the coast. I also picked up a bag of the rainbow sombreroni I can’t wait to use!

    That Zebra pasta looks so good, it might be tempting to keep it as a decoration rather than cook it. Yum Yum.
