If mostaccioli or penne are available, I use those. I’ve offered this both hot and cold.

Loved this recipe. Flowed exactly. Fresh, healthy & delicious as is!
Added chicken and shrimp with it. Kids and wife loved it!
Loved it will use it for Lenten meals and then add meat on other days.
Added basil & Itsluan dressing when eating it cold. Needs garlic salt also
Delicious dish!!!! A new favorite. I added more garlic and also added some thinly sliced chicken and some kalamata olives and some artichoke hearts. We love this!!
This dish is amazing! It is so easy and so delicious and flavorful that I make it at least once a week! Thank you!
Did it exactly as in the recipe. I used mini penne and it turned out delicious. My kids loved it as did my vegetarian guests.
I have made this recipe, however I add boneless, skinless chicken breast, mushrooms, zucchini and instead of chopped tomatoes, I use grape tomatoes. Very delicious and a family favorite!
I added oregano and balsamic vinegar and used original feta so I also cooked in some fresh basil. My picky son loved it and my Husband loved it as well!!
Was very good. The only thing I did different was I added more tomato, oregano, basil and more garlic. But that was just my preference. 🙂 very yummy with smoked sausage too.
This is my go to pasta dish when I’m looking for something more than traditional spaghetti with tomato sauce and to incorporate extra veggies! I make it exactly as recipe calls for….a crowd pleaser everytime and leftovers are great!!!
Fantastic! This was exactly what we needed tonight! Thanks!
It was quick and easy! Added mushrooms and used a mix of cheddar and feta cheese
YUM!!!! Love it! I used a bit more garlic (love my garlic!). Have heard it is good with chicken but haven’t tried it yet!
This recipe was very delicious! My kids even enjoyed it and said it tasted really good! Very nutritious and yummy! It was a hit in my household! MUST TRY
My family loves this recipe and my mom requests this on her birthday! Be sure to use plenty of spinach and tomatoes as it cooks down. I use way more than 1 clove of garlic and also add parmesan cheese at the end. Delicious and looks very pretty!
I absolutely LOVE this recipe as is! I’ve made it a few times. It is perfect for a working couple: Easy to make and we don’t have TONS of leftovers. Tonight I think I’m going to make it again but with a little canned chicken this time. We’ll see how it turns out.
Very tasty. I used 2 cans of diced Mexican tomatoes in place of fresh tomatoes. Also added shrimp meat, but chicken or some other meat would have been good. This was a nice all in one meal.
Fantastic as it is!
What a wonderfully, delicious recipe! It was incredibly simple and ready in under a half hour. I will be making this repeatedly, for sure! Thanks so much Cathy 🙂 I made slight changes :I doubled the pasta to 16 ounces (dry) and I used Garlic & Herb Feta instead.
As is, I can imagine that the pasta would taste dry. I added some light cream and allowed the feta to melt to create more of a sauce and it was a tasty pasta dish!
