Greek-Style Fresh Tomato Sauce
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons EVOO
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved if large

- 1 pound penne with ridges (penne rigate)
- 12 ounces Greek feta, crumbled (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- Heat the EVOO in a large skillet or pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium to medium-high heat.

- When the butter begins to foam, add the oregano, garlic and onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

- Stir the sauce, then add the feta and cook until melted, about 1 minute.
