A Mediterranean blend of feta, wine, garlic and oregano seasons this bold, beautiful dish. Serve it with crusty bread to soak up the delightful sauce. —Sonali Ruder, New York, New York

The History of FetaFETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

This is fantastic. Next time I will serve it over angel hair or similar--it's like a very rich stew. Delicious!!

This ihas become one of my all-time favorite recipes. I use sherry instead of wine and add asparagus and/or (1 C orzo+1 3/4 C water) to make it heartier sometimes.

This is really amazing. I used fire-roasted tomatoes and added steamed asparagus for a more complete meal. Served with garlic bread. YUM!
