Feta has got to be the best cheese in the history of cheeses. I love it in just about anything and it was fantastic in this dish. This pasta was quick, easy, and full of flavor. A perfect dinner for a busy weeknight since it only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish!
Also, I had to share something that I am super giddy about! I have been blogging for over 2 years now and I wanted a hard copy of my blog in case of a web crash and so I would have it forever! I went through http://www.blurb.com/ and my first year came in yesterday! (I had to break it up and put only 1 year in each book... the first book is 364 pages!) I love the quality of the book and I am so excited to get year 2 edited and ready to order!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteI will have to try this one. So many of your pasta dishes make it into our make regulary list. The Grilled chicken and zucchini was the most resent to make the I will make regularly list. Lets see if this one does too.
ReplyDeleteAh yes - feta makes everything betta :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the blog book - so much, in fact, that I want to do one of my own.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, feta makes the world a better place. Well, I think so, anyway.
Hey so glad you liked the recipe! I was just part of an ebook that was composed of recipes from bloggers all over the world. It was very fun! I would love to have my own too though!
ReplyDeleteI make a similar pasta but I use orzo. My kiddos love orzo. I like the one you used but orzo's as fancy a pasta as I'm gonna find around here.
ReplyDeleteYour cookbook looks terrific!
