I'm glad she's finally reviewing it bc I trust what Emmy says more than anyone

Honestly there’s no way this could be bad. Those ingredients are obviously delicious together.

This dish holds a very special place in my heart bc this was the first thing I ate after my grandpas funeral and it comforted me soooo much! I pre made this dish before the funeral, so all I had to do was heat it up, but I ate it cold, and it was pretty good, still! He was 100% Italian I feel like he was with me while I was eating this meal. ☺️

I love this pasta, I make mine with a Mediterranean twist. I use the feta, garlic and tomatoes but I also add some cut bell pepper, red onion, and kalamata olives. So good with all the extra veg!!!

I do this with Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese and it’s even better!

I tried this with sun dried tomatoes (rehydrating them by soaking them in hot water for 30 minutes) and it was delicious. A great meal when you don't have time to get fresh tomatos!

This is viral on TikTok this past couple yrs but is a staple on a table in Greece. You can double layer the tomatoes for more sauce but please use dried oregano before cooking. Delicious!!!

The Greeks have been making this “pasta” recipe for eons. They call it “bouyourdi” and it’s often made with spicy peppers for a kick of heat, as well a fresh or dried herbs. You can cook it in a casserole on top of grains or use it as a dip / spread for bread..

[Nightriser]

It absolutely does live up to the hype. It's so quick and easy, it was immediately added to the weekday dinner rotation.

I like recipes like this because they show how easy cooking can be.

My biggest recommendation for this recipe is to blend the whole thing when you bring it out of the oven. It really incorporates everything nicely and leads to a more consistent sauce and maximizes all that roasted garlic flavor 🥵

I have anxiety and your videos are the perfect cozy interesting distraction. Any time I start to feel an attack coming on, I put a vid on. It's chill, the pacing/editing doesn't overload my brain, and the topic is super fun and engaging. Thanks for being super cool in many ways!

[lalachoo]

if anyone finds this recipe too acidic or sour, try adding a tablespoon or so of sugar! once i added some sugar, it cut the acidity down and i actually really enjoyed the pasta!

[Anniehtv]

My sister adds a little cream at the end. It transforms the whole dish. Delicious

[Nightriser]

I roast some veggies separately, like broccoli, then mix it in with the sauce and noodles. good!

[camkind]

I did this last year with the pre seasoned feta and I stuck everything in the blender before putting it on the pasta - so goood

[BobbiDeeWebley]

Hell ya it is! It’s delicious! I add cooked chicken to this as well and sometimes spinach!

[brendalynn]

I personally loved this pasta. I added garlic gloves, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. When done I mashed the garlic, added a couple of table spoons of pasta water. Was delicious. You can add freshly shaved parm on top.

[TashJansson]

I used to make something similar to this while living in Greece, but with fries on the side instead of pasta. Now with the virality of this dish I have adopted the pasta and I add zucchini, olives and red peppers to the tomatoes to bulk it up. It's _heavenly_

[pookiedookiedoo]

i looove feta. i eat the crumbled cheese plain out of the container and my mom looks at me like I'm crazy LOL
