Really tasty! My family really enjoyed this. I used fresh spinach and cooked it down. Also, the tomatoes didn't look that great at the store this week, so I only used 2 that I already had....and it was so good! Thanks for a great, ww friendly, recipe!

My family enjoyed this so much that I am adding it to my monthly rotation of meals for us. Into my favorites it goes for safe keeping, till I decide to make it again. We loved the combination of flavors and it was really awesome!

Nice and easy dish. I subbed 1 rinsed and drained can of tomatoes for plum tomatoes. Now that tomatoes are in season I'll use fresh next time. Add greek seasoned chicken for a meal!

A good low-fat, healthy recipe! I used 16 oz. of penne since that was the amount in a box. I used two cans of diced tomatoes instead of fresh. I used reduced fat feta cheese also. I estimated most of the amounts I added to the recipe, but it was close enough. I left out the olives. I added lemon juice and salt and felt it was a necessary addition.
