Notes
You can also add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
You can also add in other veggies, such as bell peppers or zucchini.
For a protein boost, toss in some cooked chicken or shrimp.
Depending on your preference, you can mash the feta to create a creamy sauce, leave it in chunks for a more textured dish, or even use crumbled feta.
Consider adding other ingredients like olives, roasted red peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
Avoid overcooking the pasta before adding it to the dish. It will continue to cook slightly as it combines with the sauce, so an al dente pasta is best for this feta pasta recipe.
