Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, drain.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir onion, garlic, and basil in the hot oil until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir snap peas into onion mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour chicken stock, Marsala wine, and white wine into skillet. Add penne pasta, cook and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Divide pasta and snap pea mixture into 2 bowls and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese to serve.

Recipe Note

I was craving some pasta the other night and thought that Marsala wine would compliment it great. This recipe is what I came up with on the spur of the moment with what I had lying around my poor, grad school student's kitchen. I think it turned out delicious!
