Greek Chicken Pasta. Got The Finger Blasting On The Stereo.

An Ancient Greek man walks into a tailor shop and holds up a torn tunic.
TAILOR: “Euripides?”
MAN: “Eumenedes??”

This is one sublime pasta dish. It’s packed with a bunch of my favorite ingredients. The clincher is the brief time under the broiler before serving which gets the feta into the most delectable melted state.

2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 large onion, chopped

Whenever I think of Greece and Greek food, I think of the band The Finger. They were one of my earliest supporters as I was starting out ISITK and remain so a few years later.

Definitely turn up the volume and enjoy this great tune.
