Greek Spaghetti bears its name because of the ingredients associated with Greece included: kalamata olives, feta and fresh tomatoes. However, I have only yet to learn whether the Greeks themselves eat this spaghetti or not : ) But it is EXTREMELY delicious – finger licking good!

Another advantage is that all the ingredients needed are at hand and you can easily prepare them while spaghetti is cooking – no more than 20 min. Quick, healthy and most delicious lunch or dinner!

The combination of flavors is perfect – you will get what I mean when see the list of ingredients…

The most important ingredient is fresh tomatoes – they should be ripe and sweet. It’s better to use cherry tomatoes: besides their taste, they also make the dish more appealing. If other delicious and ripe tomatoes are available, you should peel them (by adding them into boiling water for 30 sec before), cut in half, remove seeds and then cut into large pieces (2-3 cm).

As for garlic – the recipe calls for 2-3 cloves, but since we are going to cook it in oil, the taste will be tender, without any spiciness or scent.

Highly recommend!

Bon appetite!
