I’m so excited to wrap up a great week by sharing this delicious One Pot Greek Pasta recipe today! It’s SO flavorful and easy to make! And since this recipe is made in only one pot, you know what that means, only one pot to clean, woo hoo!

Ingredients for one pot Greek pasta on white wood board

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • Onion – I recommend yellow onion for this recipe, but red onion or white onion will also work just fine.
  • Garlic – I recommend fresh minced cloves for the best flavor!
  • Ground turkey – you can also use ground beef or ground chicken in place of the ground turkey.
  • Dried oregano
  • Dried parsley
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Sun dried tomatoes – drain the tomatoes from the oil in the jar before adding them to the recipe.
  • Roma tomatoes – if you can’t find roma tomatoes, quartered cherry tomatoes can also be used in place of the roma tomatoes.
  • Capers – you can also use kalamata olives in place of the capers for a similar flavor.
  • Tomato sauce
  • Macaroni noodles – or a noodle of a similar size, like small shells or rotini pasta. You will not boil the noodles before adding them to the dish. They cook right into the dish, so for the recipe to work, you will want to use a small noodle that will cook in the broth and tomato sauce in 15-20 minutes.
  • Beef broth – or use chicken broth for a more mild flavor.
  • Lemon juice – I always recommend fresh-squeezed for the best flavor!
  • Feta cheese – crumbled on top, this cheese adds a wonderful salty, creamy layer to the dish.

Instructions

I’ve included step by step photos below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full detailed recipe instructions, video and ingredient quantities, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

  1. Cook the ground turkey. Heat a large skillet, or dutch oven, over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add olive oil and onions, cook for 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic, cook for 1 minute, then add the ground turkey.
  2. Season the turkey. Cook the turkey until it’s browned, this should take 6-8 minutes. Drain any grease from the skillet. Season the turkey with oregano, parsley, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Toss the sun dried tomatoes, roma tomatoes and capers into the skillet. Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the noodles and cook. Pour tomato sauce into the pan, along with the macaroni noodles. Pour the beef broth over the noodles, cover the skillet and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove the lid and add the lemon juice to the pasta.
  4. Serve the dish. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl, sprinkle with the feta cheese and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if you’d like. Serve immediately.

How to store and reheat

This dish is great leftover. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.

Reheat in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave for 2 minutes. I recommend squeezing a lemon wedge over the dish after it’s been reheated to add a zest of freshness to the dish. I also recommend topping it with fresh feta cheese, after it’s been reheated.

If you’re heating up more than one serving, you can also reheat it on the stove in a medium pot, over medium heat, for 7-9 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with a fresh lemon wedge and feta cheese.

Dietary options

To make this recipe vegetarian, replace the ground turkey with meatless crumbles. Also, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.

To make this recipe vegan, follow the instructions above to make it vegetarian, and omit the feta cheese on top of the dish.

If you just want to make it dairy-free, simply omit the feta cheese on top.

To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten-free macaroni noodles, or a gluten free pasta of a similar size. Always make sure the broth used is gluten free.
