Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced tomato and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in roasted red pepper spread, veggie stock concentrate, garlic powder and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Add fresh oregano leaves and baby spinach to the sauce. Cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.
  5. Toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce, adding more pasta water if needed to loosen. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve spaghetti topped with crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

Recipe Tips

Reserve more pasta water than you think you’ll need; it’s the key to a silky sauce.

For extra flavor, toast the spaghetti in the pan with a little olive oil before adding liquid.

If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt at the end.

FAQ

Can I use a different pasta shape?

Yes, any long pasta like linguine or fettuccine works well. Short pasta like penne or fusilli also work, but adjust cooking time accordingly.

Can I make this dish vegetarian?

The recipe is already vegetarian. For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese and use a plant-based feta alternative.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil.
