Mediterranean Chicken Pasta
Pasta casseroles are one of my favorite types of dinners. They are super flexible, easy to change and customize and always a hit with my picky eaters.
Todays pasta casserole lets you taste a bit of the Mediterranean with each and every bite. The feta cheese is such a delicious co-star to this incredible meal. The sun dried tomatoes and spinach work so well together along side the fantastic mediterranean seasonings.
Olive oil is used as a light dressing to keep each bite feeling fresh and not too heavy.
If you are looking for a dinner that is sure to be a hit with the whole family, then you definitely need to give this one a try!
