    I thought this was tasty, though a bit heavy for a mediteranean dish. Make sure the skillet isn't too hot when you add the vinegar or it will burn your eyes! I made with whole wheat pasta and it was tasty. I will make again, but perhaps omit the chicken broth, or cut back on it. - 8/5/09

    Didn't have feta cheese on hand - used Parmesan instead. Yummy - loved by the whole family! - 11/7/08
