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.

    OOOOHHHH this was soooo good the flavor was amazing, I did add a pinch of salt and pepper, and the feta cheese I used had the little pices of olives, peppers and spices. It really was a dish I would crave and eat even if I wasn't on WW! Thank you!!

    Absolutely delicious! Very easy to put together. I had to use grape tomatoes (because of the tomato scare) and they worked perfectly. I thought I had pine nuts on hand, but didn't, so they were eliminated. Other than those changes I followed the recipe exactly. I added a bit of the pasta water because it seemed a bit dry for my taste....worked perfectly. We loved it. I stayed with the WW serving size (although I wanted more and probably used more cheese than I should have....love the stuff) but my DH had two big helpings. Will surely be making this again and again. Thanks for sharing.

    I loved this! The recipe is simple and quick. I used 16 oz of pasta, and added some freshly ground sea salt. I also used Atheno's reduced fat feta. It came out excellent. I am a feta lover so I am frequently searching for healthy dishes that contain it. This one is one of the best I have tried. I also loved the texture and taste of the pine nuts. I felt they made the dish. I will make this often.

    Very easy recipe to make. Would be great for beginner cooks looking for a healthy dish. I used this as a side dish with some grilled chicken. I found it a little bland so I seasoned it with salt and fresh ground pepper, but it was still needing something to compliment the Greek taste. I added a teaspoon of dried oregano and about 4 leaves of fresh basil and that was the key. Perfect after that! I will definitely repeat this recipe, even for company with those changes. Thanks for posting!

    This is such a quick and easy dish to make, packed with flavour. I also found this on the WW site. For extra flavour sprinkle with 1 tsp of fresh minched dill and 1 tbsp of fresh minced Italian Parsley just before serving. Delicious!

    This was delicious! What a great weeknight meal. I sauteed chicken that had been sprinkled with Greek seasoning and cooked until no longer pink. I then added the pine nuts and garlic and followed the recipe from there. I ended up having unexpected company the night I made this and everyone loved it. I also had plenty for leftovers. Whats not to like? It is quick, inexpensive, healthful and tastes great. This will be made often in my house. Thanks for posting.

    Very good! I added 1/2 lxb leftover sausage and sprinkled in some oregano. I actually served this cold, and plan to do it quite often during the hot summer months! Thanks!
