Lemon and Feta Pasta

Oh so good, and it can be increased easily. I think I will use acini de pepe pasta, but any pasta will be great with this. Tweaked a little to my own taste, but originally the pasta was added to the "dressing" in a bowl and the veggies and feta just put in at the last minute. I prefer them cooked a little.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook the pasta following package directions.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, make a dressing by combining the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, mustard and garlic.
  3. 3
    Once cooked, drain the pasta and put back in the warm pot. Mix in the crumbled feta, tomatoes, spring onions and dressing. Heat gently til feta melts a little. This dish can be served warm or refrigerated as a packed lunch.

I used the Zaar converter to change the ingredients to make this recipe for three which converted to 15 cherry tomatoes, and the packet I had only contained 10! But once these were halved, that seemed just the right number. I used orecchiette pasta as that's what I had on hand. In step four, I added a packet of frozen, thawed and drained spinach and - admittedly I love spinach - this blended really well with the other ingredients. I had no idea what 22.18 ml of oil and 7.39 ml of mustard might look like as amounts, and I rarely measure such ingredients, - too lazy, I suppose - so I improvised there and the end result was very tasty. The citrus flavouring was part of the recipe's initial appeal and contributed to this being a recipe I'll certainly make again. We ate it warm, but in summer, I shall certainly try it as a take-to-work lunch, to be eaten at room temperature. Thanks for sharing this quick, easy to make and very tasty recipe, MarraMamba!

    DH thinks it is right on for the lemon taste. I would prefer it toned down slightly by eliminating the zest or adding something else that is green-maybe 1/4 cup of chopped spinach? I also would add a smidgeon of pepper. This would be delicious and attractive with salmon and some green vegetable. I reviewed this as part of the Newest Zaar Tag, but I had already planned that this was on my list of will tries, and now it is on my list of definite do's.

    I really liked the combination here. But for me the lemon overpowered the other flavors. I think 1/4 lemon and zest would be better. I'll make this again with that cut back. Made for Zaar Tag game 2008
