I made this with whole wheat macaroni and loved it made with beans, onions, garlic and parsley straight from the garden. Excellent recipe, Dancer.

I love this recipe when the tomatoes are in season! I did change one thing, I omitted the onions (I don't like them) and added extra garlic instead. This was very good and I will be making it again. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe. I originally saw sara moulton cook this on the food network but instead of feta cheese, romano cheese was used and is wonderful side dish with fish!I especially love the baby french beans...can be hard to find and can substitute with regular.
