Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound whole-wheat spaghetti pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fat-free feta cheese crumbled

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Skillet
  • Colander
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole-wheat spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Next, add the sliced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and diced beefsteak tomato to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
  4. Once the vegetables are ready, add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper, then toss everything together until well combined.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese. This adds a creamy texture and a burst of flavor that perfectly complements the dish.
  6. Serve your Mediterranean-Style Greek Pasta warm, garnished with additional feta if desired. Pair it with a crisp side salad for a complete meal that will transport your taste buds straight to the sunny shores of Greece.
