Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound ground chicken
1 egg yolk
1 cup finely chopped spinach
6 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/3 cup chives (finely chopped)
1/4 cups sliced green onions
1/4 cup parsley (finely chopped)
1/4 cup finely diced sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 lemon (zested )
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lb Delallo Pasta
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
1/2 cup crumbled feta
Scallions and Chives to garnish
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all the meatball ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl. Form the mixture into small meatballs, just smaller than a golf ball.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add half of the meatballs and sauté for 3-4 minutes, turning every so often to brown the outside and then continue cooking through for about 6 minutes more. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oil and repeat the process with the remaining meatballs.
  • In a large skillet, heat the 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and saute until they start to fall apart. Add the chopped garlic and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and combine all the pieces into a summer greek meatball pasta and garnish with herbs and feta.
