Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano (optional)

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 large cucumber, quartered and sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
