Receipe Pasta, White Sauce

For the dressing
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley (or 3 tablespoons dry parsley works fine too)
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated or powder will work)
1/3 cup olive oil (I have also used coconut oil, but not recommended unless you prefer the flavor)
1/4 cup pine nuts (preferably toasted)
2-4 garlic cloves, minced (depending on how much you love garlic!)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
For the pasta
2-3 cups farfalle pasta, pasta (or spiral, or other, about 6 ounces)
8 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 8 ounces)
3/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced in thin 1/2 strips
1 English cucumber (sliced at about a 1/4 inch and halved or quartered)

Boil chosen pasta al dente, drain (stir in some butter or olive oil to keep it loose) and allow pasta to cool.
Combine all dressing ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse until pine nuts have broken down and all ingredients combine (Important! Add/subtract dressing ingredients too taste!).
Combine cooled pasta, feta, roasted red peppers and cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
Gently stir in dressing.
Chill for around 30 minutes to give flavors a chance to meld.

This is a very quick and easy white sauce:

In a medium saucepan combine 1 pint whipping cream, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, and 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese. Cook over medium low heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken upon standing.
