Absolutly heavenly! I love the feta!

This is a good base, but it required a LOT of editing to make it flavorful. It was quite bland otherwise.

Had to change some since I was out of some of the items.
Used 1/2 red and 1/2 yellow peppers, was out of artichokes so I omitted them, added 3 green onions, omitted gazpacho beans, I has some spicy marinated garlic so I used that and multi colored pasta
