AMAZING! Why anyone would rate this less than 5 stars is beyond me! If I could I would give it more stars! This sauce is light and not overwhelming. Having a roasted pepper base made me a little hesitant, but it was great! I added chicken and sun-dried tomatoes, made it even better! Definitely a keeper!

I'm an experienced home chef and I loved this recipe. I'm also a butter and cream sort of guy and this is a great, healthy alternative to a cream sauce. I too do not understand the 1 and 2 star ratings and comments that this is bland. It's very tasty.

I read most of the other comments and started with the recipe as written except used the oil from my jar of sun-dried tomatoes to saute the onions. I made the sauce, tasted it and thought it was great. However, because I like to cook I made some changes. I added approx 3 ozs of sun-dried tomatoes, a bit more feta. an additional 1/4 cup of broth and approx 1/4 cup of sour cream.

Note: I added the sour cream to offset the extra feta....... Lesson learned; if you don't increase the feta you won't need the sour cream. I also added more garlic and some red pepper flakes for heat because I just like it.

Start with this recipe as written and see what you think then add whatever you like. Good job Ellie!

This was very good with a few additions. Fried up 1 lb of hot sausage-set aside. Then fried the onions/garlic in the oil from some sun dried tomatoes. Added artichoke hearts and red roasted peppers-sauteed all-then added into a blender with the feta. Was thick-so added the chicken broth and some juice from the artichoke hearts until creamy. Added the sausage. Served over red roasted pepper fetticini-deliciouso!

Didnt have much flavor based on the original recipe, I added parmesan cheese, and some spicy cajun chicken to it and it was still not great.

I made this for dinner last night and it was EXCELLENT! I added a little grated parmesan and red pepper flake to the sauce, mushrooms and a chicken breast on top. Boyfriend said it might be the best thing I've ever made (he's usually the chef at our house. Overall a healthy, delicious way to get my pasta fix!

Cooked this dish last night. It was really good. I didn't have a food processor, so I went ahead and chopped everything very finely.. It worked out and the recipe was a success.. Loved the red pepper flavor for an extra kick I added some red pepper flakes! I will definitely cook this dish again soon.

Great recipe! I always prepare a recipe according to the authors directions. It turned out wonderful. Now to change things a bit I roasted a can of artichoke hearts with 3 cloves of garlic, then added them to the food processor, along with 1/2 cup of roasted pine nuts! I
also used "FAT-FREE" Feta cheese and I must say! It took Ellie's recipe over-the-top!

I thought this was delicious. And simple, healthy and quick! This will be added as a staple in my kitchen. I used a mild feta and added toasted pine nuts on top.

I love this sauce, and would use it again. I was initially worried by reading some of the bland reports, but I found this sauce anything but bland. I like it because of it's rich flavor, and like many of the reviewers I didn't have to add any seasoning. I used President Crumbled Feta from Costco [I use feta a lot] and Trader Joe's Fire Roasted Yellow & Red Peepers, and this recipe came out delicious.
