Did you know that pasta is one of my most favorite foods in the world? My husband didn’t like pasta much when I met him and I found out it was because he had only associated pasta with cafeteria spaghetti! I like to say that I expanded his palette because he loves pasta now. While I love pasta and would eat it anytime… I don’t always have the time or like to wait for it to cook! This is especially true at lunchtime when I just have a few minutes to whip something up.

That’s why I am so glad to have found the Barilla Ready Pasta at Target!

I made this beautiful and tasty Greek Chicken Pasta Salad in around 1o minutes! The flavors are so bold which give a great Greek inspired taste.

There’s no need for boiling water or draining; all that is needed is a microwave. We love it because it’s portable and easy to make. Just 60 seconds in the microwave is all you need. I found this video from Barilla to be really useful! I love that this pasta always comes out the perfect al dente texture!

I found everything I needed at my local Target Superstore! The Barilla Ready Pasta was found on the isle with spaghetti sauce and other pastas. Be sure to utilize the Cartwheel offer for 10% off Barilla Ready Pasta! This offer is good from 8-31-17 to 9-14-17!

This recipe is so delicious and has Greek inspired flavors! The cucumbers are my favorite with the fresh taste they add. To make things quick and easy I just use pre-grilled chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken.
