40g Feta cheese, crumbled
15g pine nuts, toasted
1 tbsp olive oil

Chefs tips
• To toast pine nuts, add them to a dry frying pan over a medium heat, mix regularly for a couple of minutes until starting to brown then remove from pan immediately to stop them cooking further.
• For a gluten-free version, replace the pasta with a tin of chickpeas.
