I give this 5 stars & will be a recipe I’ll use again. I did make a few ingredient substitutions due to available at the time of preparation. I added onions & leeks plus made the following changes: 1 can Fire Roasted Tomatoes, 1 can Fire Roasted Salsa Style Tomatoes (both Blended leaving a few Tomatoes chunks), & 1 cup Cottage Cheese)

This will be a regular on my recipe rotation! I might experiment with red or white wine instead of lemon & zest...just for fun. I used garbanzos and white beans (because I had them). I used 1/4 as much feta, as my batch was a bit smaller than the recipe recommends. (Cut back on marinara-used 8 ounces, but added some Italian spices). Delicious!

Solid weekday meal. A little acid but we maybe could have selected better ingredients

Extremely simple and very tasty. I added some roughly chopped Kalamata olives and thats the only alteration I made. Everybody really enjoyed it served over rice.

definitely filling and tasty! adding rice or noodles would really hearty it up but the slice of crusty bread to dip is fantastic!

Yummy to my tummy. Only one change. I made my own sauce instead of using store brought.

Great tasting! The lemon added was excellent! Next time I will cook it down in the pan more. It came out a little too runny. But great over pasta
