Preparation

Step 1

Cook the Pasta according to it's directions.

Drain the Pasta, but while it's still warm stir in the Pesto.

Add Olives, Feta, Shallots and Lemon juice to the past and stir to combine.

Taste and add more Salt, Pepper or Lemon Juice as you see fit

Cover and refrigerate. It actually gets better after it's cooled a bit.
