Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
12 ounces penne pasta (preferably spinach-flavored)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, rinsed and chopped
5 cups baby arugula (about 3 ounces)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
Freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chickpeas, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the olives, pasta and the reserved pasta cooking water to the pot; cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the arugula and oregano until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the feta and drizzle with olive oil.

This recipe was a disaster! The dressing was too oily and the pasta was undercooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pasta turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

This Greek salad penne was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a dressing with a little less vinegar.

I'm not a huge fan of Greek salad, but this pasta dish was surprisingly good! The dressing was light and refreshing, and the veggies added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
