Ingredients
Instructions
- 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.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced tomato and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
- 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.
- Add fresh oregano leaves and baby spinach to the sauce. Cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.
- Toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce, adding more pasta water if needed to loosen. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 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.
