Have you ever tried to freeze and reheat this dish? Trying to find some healthy recipes to take to a friend but want to be able to freeze them if she needs to.

Hi! I've never tried freezing it, but generally cooked pasta with sauce or vegetables can be frozen for up to 3 months. It should be reheated in the oven. I hope this helps!

Great recipe just did a few tweaks. Definitely make sure to save some pasta water to make the sauce more smooth. I added salt pepper Italian seasoning and garlic powder to everything to give it a little more flavor. Also added some sun-dried tomatoes since I was low on cherry tomatoes which was delicious! Healthy, fresh dinner! Thanks for sharing!

This was delish! I added oregano, fresh minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the feta before roasting. Then some fresh Parmesan to the mixed result.

@Emily, how do you get the cheese to mix into the pasta? I had a hard time. But it’s probably just me lol
