Helpful Tips to make One-Pot Cheesy Greek Pasta with Chicken:

  • Grab two lids of the same size. You can use plasticware or lids from your fridge. Place one lid with the lip facing up, so you have an edge that will hold your food. Fill the lid with pitted kalamata olives. Place the second lid on top of the olives with the lip facing down. Firmly press down on the top lid. The two lips will hold the olives in place, so they do not roll off the lid. Slide your serrated knife between the lids and carefully slice through them. Watch your fingers. Now you have halved olives in the blink of an eye!

What you will need to make One-Pot Cheesy Greek Pasta with Chicken:

  • Dutch oven - I love this set and use it all the time. It is perfect for roasts and I especially love it for my one-pot meals.
  • Tongs - I love this set of 3. I use every pair of them. They are so handy and grip amazingly well!

Enjoy!

One-Pot Cheesy Greek Pasta with Chicken

One-Pot Cheesy Greek Pasta with Chicken is a simple recipe featuring our favorite Mediterranean ingredients that infuse big, bold flavors in this ambrosial Greek pasta dish. Succulent sun-dried tomatoes, briny kalamata olives, herbed chicken and tender baby spinach all come together in a rich and creamy feta wine sauce. It’s most definitely my favorite one-pot wonder and it’s ready in just 30 minutes.
prep time: 15 minscook time: 15 minstotal time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and Italian herbs, drained
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1 lb linguine pasta, uncooked
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 8 cups baby spinach leaves, divided
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup Chardonnay
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Combine the tomatoes, onion, chicken, garlic, olives, linguine, oregano, pepper and salt with 4 cups of the spinach in a 12-inch braising pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pour the chicken stock and the wine over the top.
  2. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, until the pasta is al dente (has a bite to it). Toss the pasta with tongs occasionally to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. You will still have some liquid in the pan when the pasta is done cooking; this is going to make the base for our delicious cheese sauce.
  3. Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the pasta. Toss the pasta with tongs until the cheese melts into the pasta. Toss in the remaining 4 cups (120 g) of spinach.

DONNA'S NOTES

  1. Grab two lids of the same size. You can use plasticware or lids from your fridge. Place one lid with the lip facing up, so you have an edge that will hold your food. Fill the lid with pitted kalamata olives. Place the second lid on top of the olives with the lip facing down. Firmly press down on the top lid. The two lips will hold the olives in place, so they do not roll off the lid. Slide your serrated knife between the lids and carefully slice through them. Watch your fingers. Now you have halved olives in the blink of an eye!

 is like your favorite chicken Alfredo recipe with vegetables in a rich and velvety soup Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup (With VIDEO)
Tender chunks of chicken, pasta and fresh veggies in a thick and creamy Parmesan cheese soup is utterly life changing!

It’s like the best Alfredo pasta transformed into a scrumptious bowl full of warm hugs.

One bite is enough to make me do the happy dance. The soup all starts by building layers of flavor. Then you create an unbelievably rich Alfredo cream soup right on top of the sautéed vegetables and browned chicken.

I add a pinch of red pepper flakes, because I love a little heat. And the pasta . . . I have a little bit of a tortellini thing.

I guess you may have noticed. It’s the perfect quick-cooking pasta, is amazing in everything and is stuffed with cheese. Yep, that was a no-brainer!

Helpful Tips to make Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup:

  • To reheat cream or cheese soup, warm it in a pot on the stove top over low heat, stirring frequently. Add milk to loosen the soup. Cheese- or milk-based soups need to be warmed slowly to prevent them from separating or having a grainy texture.

Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup

Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup is like your favorite chicken Alfredo recipe with vegetables in a rich and velvety soup. It is warm and comforting and utterly happy-dance inducing!
prep time: 10 minscook time: 20 minstotal time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 ounces baby carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size cubes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 9 ounces cheese tortellini, frozen or fresh
  • 2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 ounces fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Warm a large pot over medium-high heat. Once you can feel the heat when you hold your hand 6 inches above the pot, add the butter and let it melt. Add the onion and carrots. Cook the vegetables until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Then add the chicken, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook for 3 minutes, just to get a little color on the chicken, stirring occasionally. Don’t worry about the chicken being cooked through, because we are going to continue cooking it.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and veggies. Stir to coat everything and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes to cook out the floury taste. Stir in the chicken stock, half-and-half and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the soup thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Add the tortellini to the pot and cook until al dente (has a bite to it), 5 to 7 minutes (frozen takes longer). Remove the pot from the heat. Sprinkle a handful of cheese over the soup and stir. Once it has melted into the soup, add another handful. Slowly melting the cheese will give the soup a smooth consistency. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as necessary. Pour into
    bowls and garnish with the spinach.

DONNA'S NOTES

  1. To reheat cream or cheese soup, warm it in a pot on the stove top over low heat, stirring frequently. Add milk to loosen the soup. Cheese- or milk-based soups need to be warmed slowly to prevent them from separating or having a grainy texture.

Helpful Tips to make No-Bake Rocky Road Avalanche Bars:

What you will need to make No-Bake Rocky Road Avalanche Bars:

  • 9 x 13-inch Baking Pan- I have my favorites and this set is one of them. The 9x13 is perfect for casseroles and the smaller size is awesome for making 1/2 a casserole recipe.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Wings Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Wings (Video)
The spicy chili pepper paste and the honey and brown sugar come together to create the perfect sweet and spicy coating.

After the wings are slow cooked, I broil them in the oven until the glaze is gloriously caramelized and sticky.

These wings can be prepped ahead and then warmed in the slow cooker for serving. There’s no frying, no mess.

Easy stress-free recipes are one of the steps to the ultimate party, because who needs all that extra work anyway?

Oh, and no frying means they must be healthier, so you can eat more. Am I right or am I right?

  • You can use frozen wings; the cook time will be 2 to 3 hours on high (4 to 6 hours on low).

    What you will need to make Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Wings:

    Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Wings are so tender the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. You get the best of both worlds with this bold barbecue sauce. Made in the crockpot you won't find an easier recipe! They just about cook themselves.
    prep time: 15 minscook time: 2 hourtotal time: 2 hours and 15 mins

    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup good honey
    • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup ketchup
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 2–3 tablespoons chili pepper paste, to taste
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 3 pounds fresh chicken wing drumettes*

    Instructions

    1. In a 5-quart slow cooker on low, add the honey, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, chili pepper, salt and garlic. Stir to combine. Add the chicken wings. Stir until the wings are well-coated. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 hours on high (or 2½ to 3 hours on low), until the wings are cooked through.
    2. Remove the wings from the slow cooker and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. 
    3. Transfer the sauce from the slow cooker to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the sauce until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then slather the thickened sauce over the wings.
    4. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce starts to darken and caramelize. And don’t leave the oven. Broiling can go from caramelized to burned in a blink, just trust me on this one. Open the oven and brush another layer of sauce on the wings and broil again. Repeat until you have three layers of sauce on the wings. Remove from the oven.
    5. *You can use frozen wings; the cook time will be 2 to 3 hours on high (4 to 6 hours on low).

    DONNA'S NOTES

    1. I use the “stir-in” chili pepper paste from a tube; it is found in the produce department by the herbs. You can also find chili pepper paste in tubes in the Italian food aisle.

    Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses! + Video

    This creamy cheese sauce recipe uses 3 cheeses, making it perfect on pasta, vegetables, or as a dip. Make this recipe soon, for any reason!

    The love for cheese is strong here on TSRI!

    One of our most popular recipes is a copycat recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits.Who can possibly resist flaky, buttery biscuits with cheese baked into the dough? Not us!

    Another favorite recipe that y’all seem to love is our Shrimp Mac and Cheese. Actually, we have 15 mac and cheese recipes!

    The base for almost every cheesy pasta dish we make is this simple homemade cheese sauce, made from scratch in 10 minutes!

    The love for cheese is strong here on TSRI Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses! + Video

    Some cheesy facts

    If you believe that cheese makes everything taste better, you are not alone! There is proof of that in these numbers.

    In 2019, Americans consumed an average of 37 pounds of cheese per person.

    While that may seem like a lot of cheese, it pales in comparison to the country of Denmark. The citizens of that country each eat an average of 62 pounds of cheese every year!

    The love for cheese is strong here on TSRI Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses! + Video

    What you’ll need for this cheese sauce recipe

    Note: This is just a partial list of ingredients. For a full ingredient list, with amounts, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • Roux: All cheese sauce recipes start with a roux (pronounced ROO). This is a fancy French cooking term for a thickener made with equal parts of a fat (usually butter) and all-purpose flour.
    • Milk: You need to add liquid to roux to create a pourable sauce. In the case of cheese sauce, the liquid is milk. You can use any type you prefer, but using milk with a higher percentage of fat, like whole milk or half & half, will give you the best results.
    • Cheeses: Although this is a simple cheese sauce, we use three types of cheese. Not only do they add flavor, but each one of them adds an extra layer of creaminess to the sauce.

    Velveeta cheese is the perfect choice for a creamy cheese sauce. For the best flavor, we use pepper jack and cheddar cheese.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    To ensure that you have the creamiest sauce possible, buy blocks of cheese and shred them yourself.

    This is because packages of shredded cheese have a chemical on them that prevents the shreds from clumping together.

    Unfortunately, this chemical also prevents the cheese from melting well.

    The love for cheese is strong here on TSRI Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses! + Video

    KITCHEN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

    Tips for making creamy cheese sauce

    1. Incorporate the milk slowly. If you add all of the milk to the roux at one time, the butter will not combine with the milk to thicken the sauce. As a result, the sauce will be thin and you will notice butter floating on the top of it.
    2. Add the cheese a little at a time. When making cheese sauces and cheese-based soups, be sure to add the cheese slowly, and add it at the end of the cooking time. 
    3. Use low heat. Also, always cook and reheat the sauce over low and slow heat. To maintain a smooth consistency and prevent graininess, using low heat is absolutely necessary.

    Uses and Serving Suggestions

    You can make the sauce to use in a lot of different ways! Here are just a few ideas:

    • Veggies - Use the cheese sauce for cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, or any other veggies. Picky eaters will gobble them up!
    • Pasta - Use it to make macaroni and cheese, or serve it over any other type of pasta or noodles
    • Breakfast - Serve over scrambled eggs or hashbrowns for breakfast or brunch.
    • Loaded baked potatoes - Top a smoked baked potato or air fryer baked potato with some of this creamy sauce, some crumbled crispy bacon, sour cream, and chives!
    • Nachos - it really needs no explanation but my favorite nachos ever are: pulled pork on tortilla chips with baked beans and this cheese sauce! Add a few jalapenos and a drizzle of barbecue sauce and you'll be in heaven.

    Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses!

    This creamy cheese sauce recipe uses 3 cheeses, making it perfect on pasta, vegetables, or as a dip. Make this recipe soon, for any reason!
    Prep time: 5 MCook time: 5MTotal time: 10 M

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
    • 1/2 cup freshly shredded pepper Jack cheese
    • 1/2 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    • 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cut into chunks

    Instructions

    1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. 
    2. Add the flour, salt and cayenne pepper and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to cook out the floury taste. Don’t skip this step. Trust me, floury sauce is not tasty, and cooking it for a minute will also brown the flour, adding a slight nuttiness to your cheese sauce.
    3. Add the milk, whisking constantly. Simmer until the sauce begins to steam, about 3 minutes. Decrease the heat to low. 
    4. Add the cheeses a handful at a time, whisking after each addition until the cheese melts into the sauce. Lift your whisk out of the sauce. If there are still cheese shreds on the whisk, keep stirring. Continue adding the cheese and whisking until all the cheese is melted into the sauce, and then stir the sauce until it’s well-combined.
    5. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator in a mason jar for 3 to 4 days.
    DONNA'S NOTES
    1. When making cheese sauces and cheese-based soups, be sure to add the cheese slowly over low heat, or your sauce could become grainy. Reheat cheese sauces and soups low and slow to maintain the smooth texture.
