Loved it! I didnt have any pine nuts and it still tasted great. Will be making this one again.
I doubled the feta and still found it really bland
maybe sundried tomatoes would be a good addition.
Yum and easy, but it really needs a little extra something. .. not sure what tho. Maybe next time time I'll up the fetta.
Sorry, can't rate this one, maybe I did something wrong, but won't bake again to find out.
Yum! This is a delicious dish and one that I can see I will be making often in the future
I'll answer my own question, because I did go ahead and make it earlier in the day and let it sit until it was time to bake. Turned out divine! So yes, you can make it ahead!!!!!
This was great. I admit it, I didn't think that this would turn out with the uncooked rice (look at me, all doubting Thomas!!!). But it did, and it was hoovered by the entire family for dinner, and requests have been made to make it again! So pleased to have found this recipe. I made it earlier in the day and had my eldest pop it into the oven when it was time for dinner.
Sounds lovely, do you think you could make it ahead up until the baking part, and then pop it in to cook later?
Excellent. Whole family including 15 month old enjoyed it. Didn't have mozzarella and it was just as tasty without it. Have made it again and tried to substitute the rice for macaroni... I would recommend you follow the recipe because it is much better with rice.
So delicious! Keep coming back to this recipe. So easy, so delicious and popular for kids and adults.
