We’ve been exploring different pasta options as of late. We love pasta in all shapes and sizes but wanted to come up with recipes that excluded red sauce and meat. Especially since I’m vegetarian! With gluten free pasta, broccoli and feta cheese as the main ingredients, we added a bit of olive oil, fresh garlic, basil, oregano and … voila! Gluten Free Pasta with Broccoli and Feta Cheese!
Have you tasted the delicious Nikos Feta Cheese varieties? Along with traditional flavor there are also fat-free, Mediterranean, Tomato Basil and Peppercorn flavors to choose from. We went with the traditional flavor for our pasta dish but any of the other several choices would have been delectable too.
All Nikos Feta Cheeses are made start-to-finish in Wisconsin. And it goes without saying … Wisconsin knows cheese! (Ever heard of “cheeseheads”?) Each and every crumble of Nikos Feta Cheese is crafted by certified Master Cheesemakers. Nikos uses recyclable packaging and ships their products on sustainably configured pallets. Thank you Nikos Feta Cheese for going green! You can find Nikos Feta Cheese on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram. How would you like to win a trip to Hawaii?
