Cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions.

While the penne is cooking, preheat a large skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to blister and soften.

Add the baby broccoli and minced garlic to the skillet with the blistered tomatoes, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove from heat.

When the penne is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the vegetables.

Add the store-bought pesto and lemon juice to the skillet. Mix well, ensuring the penne and vegetables are coated evenly.

Stir in half of the crumbled feta cheese.

To serve, divide the penne among four bowls, and garnish each with the remaining feta cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil ribbons.
