Are there any variations for the Feta Pasta Recipe?
Besides being very simple to make, this recipe is also versatile. There are a number of ways it can be changed up! Here are some ideas to give a try:
- Pasta: Change up the pasta! Use shells, ziti or pappardelle in the dish.
- Cheese: While the feta adds a lot of flavor, goat cheese or Boursin cheese would work well too.
- Vegetables: Give different veggies a try, bell peppers would be great. Spinach or peas would also be tasty, but if you choose to use those, add them to the pasta water during the last minute of cooking instead of baking in the oven with the cheese.
- Olives: Some sliced black or green olives would make a terrific addition.
