What goes in vegetarian Greek spaghetti?

To make this easy vegetarian Greek pasta, the following ingredients are required:

1. Pasta: I have used spaghetti as it's my favorite pasta but you can use any pasta of your choice to make this dish.
2. Olive oil
3. Feta: Crumble it or finely chop so that it coats the pasta like sauce.
4. Cherry tomatoes: If you don't have cherry tomatoes, take any regular juicy tomato, cut it into large chunks and use in the recipe.
5. Olives: Use kalamata olives- pitted and sliced.
6. Garlic: I love to make pasta garlicky so have used a lot of it but if you don't like that much garlic, reduce the quantity.
7. Lemon: Use both lemon juice and zest for extra freshness.
8. Fresh herbs: Parsley and dill are my favorite herbs to use in Greek recipes. You can use either of them or any other fresh herb of your choice.
9. Seasoning: I like to mildly season Greek pasta as it makes it taste fresher. So generally, I use only dried basil and salt to season it. You can also add chili flakes, pepper, thyme, or a Greek seasoning blend.

How to make?

Making this Greek style vegetarian spaghetti is very simple. Just follow the following steps:

• Cook pasta al dente.
• Heat oil in a pan and saute garlic.
• Add tomatoes and seasoning. Saute until the tomatoes are no longer raw but still firm.
• Add cooked pasta, olives, herbs, and lemon juice. Mix everything and switch off the gas.
• Finally, add feta and mix. Enjoy!

The entire process will take maximum 20 minutes!

What to serve with it?

You can serve this Greek spaghetti with some basic grilled vegetables seasoned with just salt, pepper, and lemon juice. The combination tastes amazing.

It can also be served with toasted bread or garlic bread on the side.

Recipe tips & tricks

• Make sure to cook the pasta al dente. Overcooked pasta will spoil the whole dish.
• You can also add cooked white beans, mushrooms vegetables, spinach, etc to make the dish more flavorful and nutritious.
• Use both lemon and lemon juice for an extra refreshing flavor.
• If you prefer creamier pasta, add some cream cheese or simple cream to this dish.
• I prefer mildly flavored Greek pasta. If you want to make it more flavorful, add more seasoning of your choice.
