Pasta with Feta and Parsley is a perfect choice for those who are in search for quick, yet tasty dinners!
Pasta is a kind of food that has millions of varieties and it’s up to you to make it light or heavy, healthy or unhealthy. You can even make homemade pasta without a pasta maker.
Not only can you make a simple pasta with just butter and salt, but you can also make a sophisticated pasta with several additions like chicken, meat, sausages or vegetables and cream. You can add different ingredients every time and it becomes a new dish! Have you seen our sun dried tomato pasta recipe yet?
What’s more, there are about hundreds of different pasta types from spaghetti to farfalle or cannelloni, which makes this quick food even more special. Pasta with feta cheese is one of the simplest pasta dishes, but I guarantee it’s one of the tastiest as well! It becomes quite an elegant dinner when served with Turkish coban salad.
Would you eat pasta every single day? I would. You can use pasta in many dishes. Make a filling main dish with it when you are so hungry, make a pasta salad when you need a side dish to serve with meat or chicken. You can even make pasta soup and serve it at the beginning of your dinner.
I love it in any form and I never get bored of it! One thing I know about pasta is that it goes amazingly well with feta, so I often combine pasta with feta crumbles; even when I add other ingredients into it.
I add a little chopped parsley into this pasta since feta and parsley are one of the best couples in cooking. I love them at breakfast, in buns, over pizza. So why not use them together in pasta? It would absolutely be as tasty as our feta and yogurt dip called haydari.
And if you leftover feta cheese, you might need to see our tip to store feta cheese properly.
So what do you think is the best drink to serve with pasta? It’s unquestionably red wine for me. What do you enjoy having most with a glass of red wine? Cheese? I can eat loads of cheese with wine and a good quality feta would be my first choice when drinking wine. So here comes one of my favorite dinners: Pasta with feta and red wine.

I was craving a feta pasta recipe that I have often ordered from a local restaurant in my town. I also wanted to use up some extra ingredients I had in my pantry, so I used this wonderful recipe as my "base." It turned out fabulous, exactly what I was hoping for! The tweaks I made were: I used fettuccine noodles, I added 4 garlic gloves and sauteed them in the butter & maybe about 1/4 of a chopped jalapeno plus a pinch of red pepper flakes. I followed the rest of the recipe per instructions and it was awesome! Thanks for such a versatile recipe.

I sauteed diced bell peppers in oil and salt before adding in the pasta, and it is delicious!
