I adapted this recipe from a dish I had at a restaurant and loved.

Ingredients:

linguine
fresh basil
fresh rocket
feta cheese
kalamata olives
cherry tomatoes
olive oil
Italian herbs
salt and pepper

Cook linguine. In separate pan, saute the rest of the ingredients. When veggies are just cooked, toss with the linguine. Serve with garlic toast...yum!
