I added a tablespoon of basil and two tablespoons of oregano. It turned out outstanding! Definitely a side dish though; not a main.

This was very good. I love balsamic. I was making this as the main dish for dinner, so I added an 8oz package of cubed hard salami for some meat. I bet it would also be great with some cubed chicken breasts.

Really good, but next time I'll use more grape tomatoes as well as more green onions & less balsamic vinegar as another reviewer suggested.

Good flavor, but I would suggest less vinegar and more tomatoes. I used cilantro and pepper also. This was an easy recipe to throw together.

I only read the first couple of reviews for this recipe before making it. I wish I had read them all, particularly the ones that indicated that there was wayyyy too much vinegar! I also found that this recipe calls for way too much vinegar. I had to keep adding more pasta & oil to attempt to balance it out. in the future, I'd start with maybe a third to half the original amount & increase as needed. vinegar issues aside, this is a good recipe. really quick & easy to just throw together with some leftover pasta. I added dried basil, oregano, salt, & pepper to taste, as well as some fresh minced garlic. I also added sunflower seeds because I'm addicted & will eat them any way I can. yum. I'll be making this again!

It's not so much that this was so bad...as it wasn't so good. Way too vinegary, and mine didn't look at all as nice & bright as the picture. This recipe made a lot & I'm left with a ton of leftovers that I'm going to have to eat (I hate wasting food)! **********Followup********** Okay, I have to admit that this is much better the next day. I also added some peas that I had (about a cups worth) & an additional 2oz of feta, which cut the vinegar a bit. Much less vinegary...even enjoyable. I've revised up to 3 stars. :)

I made this as a side dish with supper last night and it was fabulous! A few small changes I made - when I normally make a balsamic vinagrette, I add sugar to balance out the flavor of the vinegar. I added about 1/2 cup to this recipe and the flavor was amazing. I also added sweet basil and used tomato basil feta cheese. Thanks for a great recipe!!

The basic idea is good, but the taste is flat. Try adding 1/2 cup Olives such as Kalamata, 2 C peeled chopped cucumbers, 1 tsp (or more) crushed whole dried oregano, a touch of sea salt and ground pepper on top if you like pepper. a few sweet peppers are good too. Subsitute the green onions with thinly sliced Red Onion. Chunked and blanched/chilled Zucchini are also very good in this mix. After all, it has a slight Greek taste with the Feta, so why not go all the way and give it some Greek Flavor!

So delicious! Per reading other reviews I also halved the balsamic vinaigrette and found it to be perfect that way. I also added some sunflower seeds to add a little crunch. I couldn't get enough, and I don't overly like pasta salad. Great recipe!

This pasta tasted wonderful, it was like the kind you order at a fancy restaurant. Except, me and my fiance made a few changes. While the pasta was cooking we sauted some chopped red onions in the olive oil (in a seperate pot). Then mixed the tomatoes and green onions in a bowl, I put some parsley and oregeno in it. When the onions were done sauting we added the tomato mixture and the cooked pasta along with half of the feta cheese to warm up. I only put 1/4 cup or less of balsamic vinegar because it seemed very strong. After the vinegar was added we turned off the stove and ate the pasta hot. We sprinkled the remaining feta cheese on top and served it with spiced chicken and veggies. Best homemade supper this week!

This is so good. It does not look like the picture though it turns out more brown because of the balsamic Vinegar. I couldn't stop eating it. Everyone in my family loved it

This recipe seems more appropriate as lighter/summer salad dish. I added lightly toasted pine nuts to my recipe, but that still wasn't enough of an umph to make this recipe more than average in my mind.

I also thought that this sounded wonderful as I love all of the ingredients. However, it had no taste even with trying all of the other suggestions from previous reviewers. I will not try again

Cut the vinegar in half. This recipe was Way too tart. I thought it seemed to missing something as well. Maybe Pine nuts or Walnuts. My girlfriend did not care for it at all. I thought it tasted better the day after I made it, but, still, just so-so.

I made this with fresh, home grown tomatoes and basil from our garden and it was superb! I substituted Newman's Own balsamic vingaigrette for the balsamic vinegar and oil called for, and I added sliced canned black olives.

I'm not too keen on Feta so I sub'd some fresh mozzarella. I used some fresh chives out of my garden in place of the green onion. I also used some fresh basil and 1/2 the balsamic.....it was very tasty!

This is a hit everytime I make it. I added a little of my own flare to it by using a pear vingear instead of a regular balsamic to give it a bit of sweetness. I also use flavored feta from time to time and mix in a can of chicken. The flavors are excellent.
