In reply to Tina van Koll. Hi there! I'm so thrilled to hear you enjoyed the bruschetta pasta! Adding shrimp sounds like a fantastic idea, definitely an extra boost of flavor and protein. Next time, you know to go for the full recipe! 😄 Thanks for sharing your experience and making my day brighter.

I made this the other night and it was great! I added shrimp and it was just such a nice, light summer meal! Thanks! Almost forgot to add that I made a 1/2 recipe…but that was a mistake as we both could have eaten more! :o)

You’re correct, traditional bruschetta doesn’t typically include onions. However, I included them in my recipe to add a bit of crunch and a slight sweetness. If you prefer the more traditional style, or aren’t a fan of onions, you can certainly leave them out. The dish will still be delicious!

As for your second question, feta can absolutely be used instead of Parmesan. Feta will lend a tangier flavor and creamier texture, which could add a unique twist to the bruschetta. The beauty of cooking is being able to adapt recipes to suit your tastes, so don’t be afraid to experiment. Enjoy!

Bruschetta doesn’t typically have onion, how do you think it will be without it? Also what about feta instead of parm?

I cut the recipe in half because I was cooking only for me. I was too lazy to chop garlic and onion so I substituted 1/2 tsp. garlic powder. I also cut more than 6 basil leaves. I used oricchiette pasta and there were no left overs. It’s a wonderful recipe, Jo. When I have more energy, I will make it with fresh garlic and onion!
