Khandi, have you made this recipe?

No, I haven't made it yet. Thought I'd share it because it sounds good. I'm just wondering how much "sauce" you get with the pasta. I like "saucy" pasta. My daughter, however, likes her pasta with little sauce - as does my sister!

This recipe sounds like it's nice and spicy (using spicy salsa), so I'm guessing that you don't really need too much sauce for it to be tasty! I love using cumin and salsa in recipes.

When I make homemade macaroni & cheese, I add about 1/2 cup salsa sauce to the cheese sauce. It adds a nice "zip" to the dish and makes for a nice change from your usual mac'n cheese.

Wow - I wondered if this was a T&T... personally I think feta cheese and chili powder and salsa and lime juice sounds like a terrible combination... but to each his/her own.

Maybe you can make this and report back?

LOL Yes, everybody has his/her tastes. Myself, I haven't tasted feta cheese because I'm not that much of a cheese lover. Daughter and hubby like any type of cheese, except blue cheese. As for chili powder, salsa, and lime juice together - I've tried it in many dishes and it's okay for me. I make a beef fajitas dish that has salsa, brown sugar, garlic, and soya sauce, and you add the lime juice at the end (I got it from Allrecipes.com and have made it several times). Everybody who has tried it have liked it. A friend makes her chili with salsa and chili powder as ingredients. But... although I like the combination of salsa, chili powder, and lime.. I'm not sure how it would be with feta cheese because I don't know what feta cheese tastes like.

Feta is a Greek cheese traditionally made with sheep or goats milk, but sometimes you find cows milk feta.
Feta is the cheese you find with the Kalamata olives in a Greek salad and in a spanikopita.

Thanks for the clarification Khandi.

I love Feta cheese AND chili powder/salsa/lime but I just cannot get my brain wrapped around combining them! I think the recipe might be better with a queso fresco or even Jack cheese. I just don't *think* it would work (for me)with feta.
