frequently asked questions
you can definitely use what is available to you, fresh or from the spice aisle. i do recommend using the fresh when possible because of the stronger flavor in bigger pieces.
yes you can! i have never tried this but if you don't have feta on hand or want to swap it out, i think goat cheese would taste nicely as well. however, i am a huge proponent for the feta.
store this pasta in an airtight/sealed container for up to 5 days.
