The pasta was overcooked, and the sauce was too watery.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I needed to add more salt and pepper.

I thought the feta cheese was a bit overpowering, but I still enjoyed the dish. I might try it again with a different type of cheese next time.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too much balsamic vinegar. I'll try it again with less vinegar next time.

I used fresh tomatoes from my garden, and they made the dish even better. The balsamic dressing was also a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.

The flavors in this dish were amazing! The tomatoes were sweet and juicy, the feta was tangy and salty, and the balsamic dressing tied everything together perfectly. I highly recommend this recipe.
