Greek Style Pasta

Submitted by Just Call Me Martha

"This is very easy to make and has a nice presentation when served on a large platter. It is very colorful. The chicken broth is optional. I prefer it without, finding that the liquid from the artichokes, tomatoes, lemon and oil is just enough."

My Pick Your Chef selection. Oh WOW. Martha, this pasta dish was sooooo incredible. Beautiful presentation, just like you said. Very colorful and wonderfully delicious. I only added a small amount of salt and pepper, and left out the chicken broth. I have decided to make this for my girlfriend lunch-bunch next month. Thanks for sharing this.

Definitely a repeat. Easy & fast to prepare. I did cut the recipe in half & it worked great. I used a dash of white wine for a little liquid in place of chicken broth. Very colorful presentation & delicious. Super recipe for a vegetarian meal.

I really liked the flavors in this dish, but ended up adding the chicken broth because I thought the sauce was too thick. I wish I'd added more. Perhaps the problem was in the feta I used, I'm not sure, but this sauce was un-attractively thick, for me. I think with the addition of even more chicken broth to thin it out it would be perfect. I can't say enough about the flavors, though - flavor is superb.
