Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 8 ounces elbow macaroni 1 garlic clove, minced 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups whole milk 8 ounces feta, crumbled

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Set a large pot of salted water to boil and butter an 8-inch square baking dish. In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, olives, and oregano.

Cook pasta 2 minutes less than package instructions; drain pasta and return to pot. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Whisk in milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, whisking constantly, until sauce thickens, 3 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in 4 ounces feta. Stir in tomato mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture over pasta; stir to combine.

Pour pasta mixture into dish and top with 4 ounces feta. Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese begins to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cook’s Notes If you like, add canned tuna, browned ground meat, or cooked chicken when you stir in the feta. This dish is delicious right out of the oven or at room temperature.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/04/2017   Hi Martha, With all the heart disease in Americans, perhaps please think about cutting butter, saturated fats, cholesterol laden recipes and modifying them to be more healthful, unless your audience works 12 hour days in physically demanding occupations. For the ordinary person, even with moderate exercise, family history, some of these recipes can clog the arteries of even the healthiest people! Thanks.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/31/2013   This makes a very delicious variation on mac & cheese!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/04/2011   Good variation on mac and cheese. I halved the kalamatas and omitted added salt which I don't think this recipe really needs. Also next time would reduce the flour some as it made a very thick sauce. Finished product is tasty.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/10/2011   I made some alterations to the recipe to make it healthier. Used whole wheat pasta. Used 1% milk instead of the whole milk and only used 4 oz of feta cheese. Put all the cheese in the sauce and skipped topping it with more cheese. It was very rich with the 4 oz of cheese. Also added a can of wild salmon. Husband loved it. And I assembled it the day before and popped it into the oven the next day.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/07/2011   The whole milk will make the dish richer in taste. But 2% or even skim milk would be fine - it just won't be as creamy - but it will be healthier.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/07/2011   Have not tried recipie bit can substitute non flavored rice, soy or alomond milk. (unsweetened and no vanilla falvoring). It has worked for me.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/07/2011   Is it imperative that I use "whole milk"? I am lactose intolerant. Would 2% do? Must be a reason using whole milk?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/22/2010   Delicious! A BIG hit!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/26/2010   This was delicious and a HUGE hit with our 8 yr old son! I'm printing out the recipe and adding it to our Family Favorites Binder! We're definitely making this again! YUM!
