One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake

I had some berries they weren’t being eaten so I made this delicious berry cake. I had fresh berries but you could also use frozen. This cake is so easy to make, and you only need one bowl.

Penne with Crispy Salami and Feta Cheese

Last week I went to the deli and ordered "half" a pound of dry salami. The girl must have been in her own world and thought I said "have" a pound. So, I ended up with a pound of salami. What was I gonna do with all that? I mean, I love salami but that's a bit much.

 So here's what I came up with. You could use bacon or some other type of meat that you know will crisp up nicely. The feta adds a nice tang to the dish. I like Canadian feta but you can use Greek or any other kind you like. Some are saltier than others so I wouldn't add salt to this recipe.


Penne with Crispy Salami and Feta Cheese
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 375g box of whole wheat pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3lb dry salami, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4oz feta cheese, crumbled
Directions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  2. In a nonstick pan, fry garlic and salami in oil over medium heat until salami is crispy. 
  3. Sprinkle in pepper and oregano and give it a stir.
  4. Add drained pasta and olive oil then stir in feta. Serve hot.
  5. It's also good cold as a salad but then the salami won't be as crisp.
