Pasta and Feta Cheese Casserole, This Greek-inspired casserole is easy to prepare for a week night dinner but the sauce is so rich-tasting, you’ll want to serve it to company as well It freezes and reheats very well and actually tastes better the second time around , This was lovely — and the sauce is spectacular ! I followed the recipe faithfully, and the texture of the sauce was almost silken Just the right amount of pop and flavor – I may have used a tad more garlic – but it will be perfect for left-overs tomorrow ! Thanks for posting, Irmgard , This was absolutely delicious It gets a 5 from DS and DH and 5++ from me! I loved the creaminess of the sauce combined with the tang of feta, and enjoyed the flavor of the veggies without lots of extra crunch used whole wheat pasta, smart balance, and skim milk and had no problem with texture The only change I might make next time is to add slightly less dill; used 2 teaspoons of dried dill and might take it to 1 1/2 next time We all agree with acerast–the olives are NOT optional as they really pop in this dish and give it another layer of texture I had no problem with getting 2 y/o DS to eat this–I just called it mac and cheese and he went to town! Thanks for posting, this is absolutely a keeper
