Bow Tie Pasta with Green Beans, Feta, and Walnuts

I concocted this last night in an effort to use up leftover bow tie pasta. It turned out really delicious!
1/2 box bow tie pasta
2 cups fresh green beans, cut into small segments 1/2 cup feta, cubed (or goat cheese)
1 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
3 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
While the pasta cooks, steam the green beans. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the hot pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot and over low heat, stir in the feta cheese and some of the hot water to help the cheese get saucy. Add green beans and the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.

This was really delicious right after I made it last night. However, feta doesn't reheat that well, so the leftovers are not quite the same.
