Wonderful recipe, simple to prepare, tastes awesome. I'm a great fan of the "Greek taste" in cooking. I used Kraft's Greek vinaigrette and added some dried rosemary and fresh Greek oregano (which I grow) during the cooking as well as some salt when done. I'll make this again and again. Thanks for the recipe.

I was pleased & surprised when my picky eaters really liked this! I used a box of orzo and a drained can of diced tomatos, and made kittencal's dressing for her Greek salad for the vinaigrette. Plus, I combined some "need-to-use-now" lamb strips and a freezer-burned chicken breast which I marinated for 30 min. in diced onion & garlic, EVOO, white wine, and juice of a whole lemon. I stir-fried the meat in the marinade then followed the recipe directions for a winner!

We really loved this recipe as you can see I served it with Orzo intead of spaghetti. I'll be making this again for sure. Thanks for sharing; this is for my Greek Island hopping challenge.
