Very strong feta flavor

User: Katie from Chicago, IL User Rating:
I like feta, but the flavor in this sauce was too strong for me. The sauce also got dry pretty easily, so I would suggest substituting some of the feta with milk or something mild and creamy. Overall, this recipe was okay but I probably won't make it again.
horrible

This dish was SO delicious - it had such a great flavor, and really gave me something different and exciting to spice up the week's meals! I ate while watching a chef show, and it was SO nice to have such a nice meal while watching people cook :-) It even pleased the men in the house - two twenty-somethings - who ate the entire dish. We had no leftovers!! Thanks again Ellie!!
Tasty, Satisfying - I used Penne instead of Fettuccine

Best served immediately, but I managed to get four additional brown-bag lunches out of the cold leftovers. Please keep up those wonderful recipes, Ellie!
Nice twist!

We thought this was really tasty! I halved the recipe for two of us, and added some grilled zucchini to it. I also added about 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes, and about 1/2 tsp of salt. It was a nice twist on traditional red creamy pasta sauce. Will make again and serve it with grilled shrimp or scallops.
GREAT RECIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a simple and very tasty dish. I added few grilled prawns and chopped fresh spinach and I really enjoyed it. It was a complete meal in a bowl. Thanks Ellie:))))))))

This recipe was very disappointing! The red peppers were overpowering in the sauce, the texture was odd, and the flavors did not mesh well. My husband took one bite, and left the rest on his plate, and he is by no means a picky eater. I have tried many dishes from this show, and enjoyed most of them. This one, I did not care for at all. Other than what we tasted, had to throw the rest out.

Tried this dish tonight for the first time. It is definitely a keeper. So quick and easy, simple dish using a few pantry staples. I used a little bit extra garlic (we like garlic in this house). Delicious. some of the reviews here have said it was too salty because of the feta. I thought it tasted great but feta can taste different depending where it was produced. Ask the cheese man at your grocer for a sample before you buy. Also don't forget to add pasta water to the sauce. It will definitely stick to the pasta without a problem by adding the starchy water. We added a few sauteed shrimp. Yum! Thanks again Ellie!
Quick and delicious!

My husband and I love this recipe. It is quick to make and tastes great. It is a fairly guilt-free way to eat pasta. I typically use a little less onion than what the recipe calls for, and I found that adding some of the pasta water to the sauce really helps smooth it out. Sometimes we add sliced olives too, which compliment the feta nicely.
Delicious & Simple

All Feta is Not the Same!

User: SANDRA from Sierra Madre,, CA User Rating:
Loved this dish. For those who says the balance is off, I'm wondering what brand of Feta you used. All Feta is not equal. Lots of countries make feta. Comparatively, French Feta is milder for example than Greek or Bulgarian Feta, etc. There's also an issue of how much goat's milk and how much sheep's milk was used in one or another brand. You should taste the cheese before using it so that you know you like one particular feta cheese over another. Skip the one that is too bland for your taste and I think you'll enjoy this recipe.
Not great

This was not the best Ellie recipe I've tried. It was bland and at the same time, completely overpowering in taste. Way too much roasted red pepper flavor and the feta gave it a strange consistency. I felt empty after I ate it and a little sick to my stomach. Ellie has so many WONDERFUL recipes....this just isn't one of them. Ick!

This dish is so good. I loved the whole wheat pasta in it. The texture is so much better than regular pasta. I added shrimp to mine and it made it even better. It would also be good with chicken in it. I have already made this twice and I will make it again and again.
GREAT!!

For those of you who didn't care for this recipe, I have to believe you did something wrong! I've made this twice now and each time I can't believe how unbelievably sinful it tastes. Love it! I use Whole Wheat Penne instead of Fettuccine and serve it with a few slices of grilled chicken. LOVE IT!
Healthy and Filling

This is excellent! I love healthy recipes that are also filling and satisfying. The feta in this dish really adds some depth and creaminess. The flavor is rich with roasted red pepper which is one of my favorites. I would recommend this to anyone who is tired of the very light healthy dishes, and are craving a little depth in their meal plans.
A little too much feta

User: SONIYA from Nazareth, PA User Rating:
I made this recipe pretty much as its stated except I just used the red pepper bottle water instead of the broth. Unfortunately, the sauce was very overpowering in regards to the feta. I know that the feta is supposed to be a strong flavor component but I feel like it was just too much of feta and not enough red pepper. My husband and I ended up not eating most of it. I'm going to take the leftovers and try adding the grilled chicken that someone suggested and maybe an extra red pepper to mix into the sauce. Hopefully, then it'll become a salvagable meal.
Used Goat cheese

User: Peggy from Tampa, FL User Rating:
I liked this sauce a lot but I used goat cheese instead of feta and I used skim milk instead of chicken broth. I cut the cheese in half and cut the pasta in half too because I made it for two people and I still had leftovers. My husband loved it!

I don't understand the negative comments about this dish. I didn't find the red pepper overpowering, in fact, I used a 24oz jar instead of 16oz in the recipe. I found that the feta balanced it all out. I used fusilli instead, and I think next time I will add basil instead of parsley.
Delicious!

User: Sarah from Howell, MI User Rating:
My husband and I love this when we are lazy and don't want the fuss. I change mine a little bit. I use fusilli because the sauce clings better and I roast my own peppers. I use whatever pepper I have in my fridge. I also used some boursin cheese because I was low on feta. But if you are watching the fat content, I wouldn't use the boursin. It is an easy sauce to customize yourself.
good, but...

I made this recipe last night and it was so amazingly simple and delicious! The color was incredible, and the flavors of the roasted peppers and feta were a complimentary pair. I also follow Weight Watchers, and although this meal is 8 points per serving, I found it to be filling and satisfying, and actually quite indulgent! My husband loves it too! This is definitely going to be one of my staple meals.

My boyfriend and I tried this recipe because it sounded tasty and it calls for whole wheat pasta. We would definitely make it again. I would suggest using less pasta than it calls for or double up the sauce so that there's more 'sauce' instead of a light covering.

So easy to make but I'm not sure if the red peppers were too strong or if we didn't love the cheese & red pepper combination. I will try this again maybe with more garlic and goats cheese instead of feta. It's so easy and healthy that I have to come up with something to make it taste better for my family.
Very Good!

something missing from this recipe

User: Anonymous User Rating:
This recipe sounded delicious and looked great on the show. However, it was very disappointing. It seems as if there is something missing- the taste of the red pepper was overpowering and I think it needs another type of cheese or a liitle cream instead of the pure chicken stock. I know that this would impact the "healthy" recipe, but my entire family agreed, this recipe was almost unedible as it stands. I am leary of trying any more from this show.
good, healthy, stuff!

I love feta, garlic and red pepper but they did not come together well for an appeasing pasta sauce. I can't put my finger on it but I think the roasted red peppers made the sauce too sweet and it didn't have any zest or kick too it.

This was a very simple, easy recipe to make and very tasty. A nice departure from tomato sauce and the cheese adds just enough creaminess. Try adding a few chopped kalamata olives to add to the mediterranean vibe of the roasted peppers and feta cheese.
