Season 3, Episode 9: Mediterranean Feta Pasta Dish, Meatless and Meat-Containing. This is a fabulous split table recipe! This hybrid recipe is one that is very easily modifiable for split tables because the meat is added at the end and so it's easy to split the recipe into a meat portion and a meatless portion. This uses fresh ingredients and the only cooking done is to cook the pasta, so it's relatively quick aside from some chopping of veggies and tomatoes.

This recipe is a super easy and quick meal prep for a dinner meal, or lunch, and it's also got a summer-y type of felll to it.

Ingredients: 

  • 6 oz crumbled feta cheese (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped fresh tomato (roma or larger tomatoes with seeds removed)
  • 1 cup chopped English cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion (including the full green part, can add more to taste)
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (juice from about 1 fresh lemon)
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp dried dill
  • 1/4 tsp ground oregano
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound pasta, any shape
  • 1 pound smoked sausage sliced (or cooked chicken or turkey works too) for the meat portion of the recipe

Instructions:

  1. Chop veggies and tomatoes.
  2. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, spices, and herbs.
  3. Pour liquid over the veggies and cheese, stir well. 
  4. Add cooked pasta and stir.
  5. Serve.

Super easy!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
