Notes about this recipe

    We really liked this too! Easy and tasty. I made it true to the recipe and added spicy Italian sausage, which I had cooked ahead and sliced up. We'll make it again, and try some of the variations in the book and suggested below. My only quibble is with the serving size, and I find this to be the case with pasta recipes in many American cookbooks. The recipe says "Serves 4," but I served it to five adults, three of whom had just finished a 38-km/23-mile bike ride, and still have 4-5 servings left. I would say that this recipe serves 8 generously.

    Delicious and easy. I added some swiss chard and, because of a cow milk allergy, I used soy milk. I’d switch out the soy milk (too strong flavor) for sheep’s milk yogurt or sheep or goat milk, almond or oat milk if the others are not available.

    Easy and tasty. I’d happily make this again

    Like others have mentioned this is a great dish. The green olives cut through the richness of the goat cheese. Love that this doesn’t create too many dishes. I totally forgot to reserve some pasta water but I don’t think the sauce needed it.

    Excellent dish, great sauce. Did not add the olives because family prefers it without. Will make again!

    I used sausage tortelini and made it the cheddar version. Made my favorite "burnt" cherry tomatoes for this and added a bit of kale. I was very good and simple.

    This was delicious. I cut back on the pasta, but I almost always do. We are 2 -3 ounces pasta portion people. I added a small bunch of kale, chopped along with the first tomatoes. Added color and upped the veggie content. Used kalamata olives as I have a Costco jar in the fridge. I skipped the the basil as I had added kale. Really nice combination of flavors.

    I thought this was delicious -- the flavor profile is right up my alley. Swapped green olives for kalamatas as that's what I had on hand. My eight year old liked it, but the 10 year old was not a fan -- he didn't care for the goat cheese. Might try the cheddar variation for his sake. Served with some green beans.

    This was so delicious! One of my new favorite pasta dishes. The goat cheese sauce is delicious but doesn't feel too heavy and is perfectly balanced by the sweet, tart cherry tomatoes.

    Great dish! I used mostly goat cheese with some ricotta added in, and loved it. The cream plus goat cheese makes for a delicious, easy sauce. All the cherry tomatoes in my garden decided to ripen at once, and this was a nice way to use a lot of them.
