Prep Time: 45 minutes
Start to Finish: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Mountain High™ original plain yoghurt
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 lb uncooked penne pasta
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup sliced roasted red bell peppers (from 16-oz jar)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 jar (7.5 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drained, coarsely chopped
  • 1 package (5 oz) baby spinach
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves

Instructions

  1. Measure yoghurt; cover and let stand at room temperature while pasta cooks. In 5-quart Dutch oven, mix water, pasta, garlic, salt and pepper flakes. Heat to simmering over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer uncovered 12 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender.
  2. Stir in chicken, roasted peppers, olives and artichoke hearts. Return to simmering; cook 2 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is heated through.
  3. Remove from heat; stir in yoghurt and spinach. Continue stirring until spinach wilts. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese. Top with remaining cheese and herbs.

Notes

Anything extra can easily be thrown into a salad! Yum!

Need to save even more time? Opt for presliced jarred roasted red bell peppers.

Just keep stirring! This easy one-pot cooks quickly, so don’t forget to stir often to prevent pasta from sticking.
