I am on a feta fetish now, and this hit the spot. Yes, it is also good cold. Instead of the lemon juice, I added Balsamic Vinegar....kicks it up a little!! Very easy to prepare, can't wait for the fresh garden tomatoes to try this again!! Very tasty. thank you!!

My husband loved this one. This is one of the easiest pasta dishes I've ever made, and the combination of flavors is excellent. I threw in a few black olives at step 4. Also, we ate it hot from the stove, but it seems like it would be good cold, too.

For a diet meal, this was really good. Made exactly as written.

I love this recipe. It is quick and tastes amazingly good. The second time I made it I only had 1 1/2 cups of tomatoes on hand. I still made it and just added a little bit of my leftover pasta water from boiling the spaghetti to make it a bit moister since it didn't have as much tomato juice. It still tasted REALLY good.

YUM! Simple, yet sophisticated. Beautiful flavours, even the fussy 2 year old ate this with no complaints! I am keeping this recipe and making it again and again.
