Season 3, Episode 9: Mediterranean Feta Pasta Dish, Meatless and Meat-Containing. This is a fabulous split table recipe! This hybrid recipe is one that is very easily modifiable for split tables because the meat is added at the end and so it's easy to split the recipe into a meat portion and a meatless portion. This uses fresh ingredients and the only cooking done is to cook the pasta, so it's relatively quick aside from some chopping of veggies and tomatoes.
This recipe is a super easy and quick meal prep for a dinner meal, or lunch, and it's also got a summer-y type of felll to it.
