📝 Ingredients:
• 250g (9 oz) penne pasta, cooked as per instructions
• 250g (9 oz) halloumi, cut into cubes
• 1 large red onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 large zucchini, chopped
• 200g (7 oz) baby tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Olive oil (for cooking)
🍽️ Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta:
Prepare 250g of penne pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, reserve some of the pasta water, drain, and set the pasta aside.
2. Cook the Halloumi:
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the 250g of cubed halloumi and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the cooked halloumi from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil and sauté the chopped red onion for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp chili flakes. Stir for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add Vegetables:
Toss in the chopped zucchini and halved baby tomatoes. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the zucchini softens slightly and the tomatoes begin to release their juices.
5. Combine the Ingredients:
Add the cooked halloumi cubes back into the skillet with the sautéed veggies. Stir in the cooked penne pasta and some of the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce. Simmer everything together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Top the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
