Reduce heat and add tomatoes and heat through again without excessive stirring to burst the tomatoes, keeping warm until pasta is cooked. Drain pasta and pour into large deep serving dish. Uncover skillet and add feta, stir quickly to heat and pour over hot pasta. Serve with sliced of sourdough brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with Spice Depot Garlic Pepper, then pushed under the broiler or set on the grill for a few seconds.

This dish is delicious hot but even more delicious cold. It is a buffet table favorite and travels very well in a picnic basket.
