  1. I added Genoa salami and pepper jack cheese to this recipe and everyone loved it! Great recipe!
     
  2. Nice and easy dish. I subbed 1 rinsed and drained can of tomatoes for plum tomatoes. Now that tomatoes are in season I'll use fresh next time. Add greek seasoned chicken for a meal!
     
  3. Awesome! Delicious! Filling! Easy!
     
  4. Great recipe, however, I would use kale as it is higher in nutrients and lowest in oxalic acid. I love pasta salads!
     
  5. Relatively easy vegetarian one dish meal. I used 1 lb. tomatoes (plum tomatoes at the store didn't look very good, so I used regular) and reduced the pasta to 8 ounces (I prefer additional sauce). The toasted pine nuts put this over the top. Couldn't find reduced fat feta that day, so I used regular (less than recommended) and used cooked fresh spinach as per suggestion. This resulted in a very fresh-tasting meal.:) My BF and I ate just about the whole dish in one sitting. I didn't feel it needed any herbs, but oregano would go well with this.

  1. Excellent, easy recipe! I used goat cheese instead of feta and bowties instead of penne. Will definitely make this again!! Super Yummy!
