Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Penne with greens, olives, and feta

    • Laura on January 14, 2014

      This recipe gets great reviews on Epicurious (although on that site it is mis-named as 'Penne with green olives and feta.') In contrast, we didn't much care for it at all. I followed the directions exactly except that I only used 8 ounces of penne rather than 12 and that was plenty. I used collards rather than the specified greens, and that may have been the problem -- I'm sure I would have preferred it with spinach or kale. Still, it was just very boring and I don't think a different green would solve that.

      I thought I was going to love this but it was plain. Doubling the feta to 6 ounces would give it more flavor. I used a large bunch of broccoli rabe because I like its pleasant, mild bitterness, which was necessary to give the dish any flavor at all.
