Greek Pasta

One-pot recipes are so popular now, and I can see why. They’re quick and easy, you can customize them to your taste, and they’re so delicious!

This Greek Pasta recipe made in one pot is one of my favorites. The flavors scream spring, and it’s so easy to make. My family devours it every time I make it, and they ask for it often!

This dish is pasta loaded with veggies and chicken that is then tossed in a creamy lemon sauce. It is a hearty dish that is flexible enough to be served as a weeknight dinner or the perfect side dish at any potluck.

I even like to make it over the weekend to meal prep some lunches for throughout the week.

Recipe Variations

• You can leave the chicken out or use something differnt like ground Italian sausage.
• Instead of sliced cherry tomatoes you can use about 1 cup of chopped tomatoes.
• To save on calories, you can use half-and-half instead of cream.
• If you don’t have a deep skillet with a lid, a pasta pot witha lid will work.
