Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my pasta didn't cook evenly. Some of it was still hard, while other parts were overcooked.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less feta cheese next time.
