Greek Feta Linguine

This quick and easy pasta dinner is great for families or date night!

Put my Greek Feta Linguine on your dinner rotation soon.

This dish was so darn good over the weekend that I am making it again for dinner tonight. It's light, refreshing, yet still has a ton of flavor.

Do you like feta cheese?

I personally love it.  It is a crumbly, aged cheese, made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep and goat's milk.  You'll see it a lot in European dishes, especially Greek dishes.  I love having it as a topper on pasta or a salad.  It is a bit salty, yet not overpowering at all.  Give it a try!

And think you can't find it?  Wrong.  I buy mine at Aldi's, so it is pretty much in every grocery store around.

I whipped up a quick marinade for this chicken {nothing like bland, boring chicken!}.  I recommended making your own marinades, they are so simple.  For this one I poured the ingredients in a small mason jar and let the kids go to town shaking it. Just make sure that lid is on tight.

And then this morning before I left the house, I left a jar of this marinade on the kitchen counter with instructions for the husband to combine it with the thawed chicken to marinate.

Please, let him follow directions so I come home to this being done.

If you try this pasta dish and love it, I would appreciate you taking just a moment to give it a star rating below! This helps other readers decide if it's a good one to try.

Enjoy this fun dinner and tell your friends about it!
