Here's an easy dish that always gets compliments. The feta cheese and pine nuts give this pasta its Greek nature. I've reduced the fat by mixing in fat-free cottage cheese.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! I used whole wheat penne and added some extra vegetables, like zucchini and bell peppers. It was a great way to get my kids to eat their veggies.
