Easy El Greco Spaghetti

Easy El Greco Spaghetti
This is a gloriously simple pasta dish that's a true testament to the fact that delicious meals need not be complicated or time-consuming. It's a dish that's sure to transport you straight to the heart of the Mediterranean, with its simple yet sublime flavors.

To begin with, we start by coating our pasta with a luscious layer of oil, which serves as the perfect canvas for our Mediterranean-inspired ingredients. We add some plump cherry tomatoes to the mix, and then we turn to our secret weapon – the El Greco spice blend. It's a fusion of earthy Turkish Oregano, citrusy Sumac, and floral Basil, just to name a few of its star players.

It's this blend that brings the taste of the Mediterranean to your plate, infusing our pasta dish with a subtle yet complex herbiness that will have you begging for more, and makes this meal an absolute crowd-pleaser.

Add a little grated parmesan to complete the meal, and add your favorite protein if you'd prefer a meatier dish.

Ingredients

Directions

Cook the spaghetti (or any pasta of your choice) according to the directions on the package. Drain, and set aside.

In a deep pan on medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then add 4-5 chopped garlic cloves and stir occasionally for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the teaspoon of chile flakes and stir for one minute longer.

Add 2 cups of sliced cherry tomatoes to the mixture in the pan. Let them heat until they begin to burst, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes.

Once the tomatoes have begun to pop, add in the cooked spaghetti, the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil, and 5 tablespoons of El Greco blend. Use tongs to toss the spaghetti well, getting an even coating of the spice and oil mixture on the pasta.

Add Pacific Flake Salt to taste. Toss again and serve hot.
