Cherry Tomato Pasta Salad with Feta

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
2. Toss the halved cherry tomatoes in a hot pan with a drizzle of oil for 3 minutes until the skins just begin to pucker.
3. In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thickened and opaque.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, blistered tomatoes, diced red onion, and crumbled feta. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently. Fold in the fresh basil at the very end.
