Preparation

In a food processor, chop the garlic with the olives. Add the oil gradually until mixture is creamy. Season to taste.

In a frying pan, melt the butter then reheat the pasta. Add the tapenade and stir to coat well. Mix in the sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Off the heat, add the Feta and let it sit, covered, for 2 minutes to warm through.

Serve immediately.
