I quickly made this spaghetti meal to sate my hunger for feta cheese and olives. For variety, mix with spinach or artichokes.

Delicious I left out the zucchini but added some red and yellow peppers, bacon and asparagus.
Easy, adaptable, delicious
I used Kalamata olives instead of black olives, and used way more than 12 of them. I also added more feta than it calls for. Mix the feta in while it is still in the hot pan, and it spreads out and makes the dish more flavorful! It’s good as leftovers both heated up and cold!
Just changed 2 things. Both ways will be great. I did Marsala wine and parm flakes. We’re were having Italian so that I why I changed it.
Delicious side dish for grilled chicken.
This was great! Used more olives than called for, added spinach
Used as a base for what I call “refrigerator” pasta — using up spinach, rotini, sun dried tomatoes, and olives all ready to use. Feta and olives are always a great combination in pasta and this was no exception.
Delicious. Substituted artichoke for the zucchini and added some red bell pepper and kalamata olives instead of black olives.
These were simple to make but nothing to excite me. I had used spanish olives instead of black ones because I was making this dish just for me and did not want to open up a new can of black olives. And the over thing I had replaced per reviewers suggestions was artichokes for the zucchini’s but I really think the zukes was meant to be in this dish.
This was delicious! It’s great how you can add or take out according to your tastes. I added extra olives, onions, and diced tomatoes. It still would have been great without the extras. The crumbled feta cheese really completed the dish.
I surprised my boyfriend with this dish one day and it was absolutely delicious! I skipped the mushrooms and zucchini and added slices of grilled chicken and it was very flavorful. Definitely one of my favorite pasta dishes!
Fast and easy pasta dish for those nights when you want something yummy w/o a lot of prep. I also added the artichoke hearts, red bell pepper and a handful of fresh spinach-colorful and healthy! buon appetite!
Was great and really hit the spot! I did add onion, more garlic, more olives and a green pepper.
We double this for our family of five, which allows for some leftovers, and make the following changes – leave out the zucchini, add one jar of marinated artichoke hearts (with liquid) & one can of plain artichoke hearts (drained), use a bunch of extra olives and feta. You can also use regular, button mushrooms instead of crimini ones. This dish would be really good with sun dried tomatoes, but I haven’t actually tried it that way yet.
This is awesome if you love just an olive oil pasta and I wanted to see if I was one of those. But I am 100% a tomato sauce person, so I had to add it after I tried it, then I loved it!
This was easy and pretty good. I used goat cheese instead of the feta b/c that’s what I had handy. I think the feta would have been better.
not very much flavor.. needs a lot of work. probably wont try this again.
This was sooo tasty. I added cherry tomatoes and grilled chicken breast. Yum!
Wow… Loved it! I made this with a few adjustments: I substituted red and green bell pepper for the zucchini and just left out the olives since I didn’t have them. It was good the first day but got better as it sat in the fridge; reheated in the micro… This was a flavorful and healthy dish.
I made this this past weekend and ended up serving it cold. Added the feta and olives at the table and everyone loved it.
This was fantastic. I didn’t change anything.
