Ingredients

  • 3 cups (750 ml) penne
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 350 g (about 3/4 lb) Québec lamb shoulder, boneless, cut into thin strips
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers of assorted colors, cut into strips
  • 1 small zucchini, cut into half‑moons
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped garlic

  • ½  lemon (zest and juice)
  • ½ cup (125 ml) chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup (250 ml) crumbled feta

Preparation

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Sear a few strips of lamb at a time for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Cook the onion, bell peppers, and zucchini for 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic, oregano, and the lemon zest and juice. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.
  5. Return the lamb strips to the skillet. Pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes over medium‑low heat.
  6. Add the pasta, parsley, and feta. Toss gently to combine.
