Warm Greek Penne Salad

This is a deliciously warm salad. I can't remember where I first found the recipe, but I've tweaked it several times since. Artichoke hearts are absolutely wonderful and I tend to use more than the suggested amount. Feel free to experiment!
Warm Greek Penne Salad
8 oz wheat penne
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup feta cheese
½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
¼ cup chicken broth
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped

1. Cook pasta according to instructions.
2. While pasta is cooking, add oil, onion, and garlic to skillet. Cook on medium-high heat until soft.
3. Stir in tomatoes, artichokes, chicken broth, and half of the feta. Reduce heat and simmer until pasta is done.
4. Drain pasta and add to skillet. Stir thoroughly, then top with remaining feta. Cover skillet and heat on medium for 3 minutes.
5. Stir once more, then serve.
