Pesto Feta Pasta

Submitted by: UNA_NICOLE

Introduction

This can be altered in any way -- add mushrooms, more veggies to increase serving yield and decrease calories. Can also be made with chicken. The pesto has a lot of olive oil in it, so you need just enough oil to coat the pan and cook the onion.

This and some grilled chicken feeds my husband and I both and then I still have a serving to take to lunch the next day!

    Yum! Llooked like something you get from Zuppas. Make sure to stir in the feta. My husband is picky and liked this. Very flavorful. Serve with fresh veggies and bread and it's a complete meal! Definitely a do-over for me. Thanks! - 8/31/09

    This was delicious! I added orange peppers and sauted them with the onions. I also added shrimp and used less pesto because the pesto I had was pretty high in calories. My only complaint it that it wasn't very filling, but it could have just been the day. - 2/4/10

    This was a tasty meal. I added steamed shrimp to it. If you don't make the pesto yourself, buy top-of-the-line, because everything depends on the quality of the flavor of the pesto. - 4/10/09
