Ingredients for 6 servings

¼ cup olive oil
½ cup fresh dill or mint
¾ pound orecchiette
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 ounces)
1 pound beefsteak tomatoes, diced medium
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small garlic clove, mashed to a paste
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
Salt and pepper

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 3 minutes less than package instructions, then add beans and cook until just tender. Drain and return to pot.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Add pasta, beans, and half the feta and herbs; toss to combine and season. Serve warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle with remaining feta and herbs.
