If you are tired of eating spaghetti the same way, over and over, then I have a great spaghetti recipe for you. The recipe is for Greek spaghetti which is a fusion of Greek and Italian cuisines. The wonderful saucy flavors so closely associated with Italy translate well when paired with lemon and feta.
Spaghetti is a type of pasta that originated in Italy and staple food of traditional Italian cuisine. Many people think that there is no difference between noodles and spaghetti but they are actually very different. Spaghetti is a thin, long, cylindrical pasta made with milled wheat and flour. It is not added to soup and is usually served with sauce. On the other hand, noodles are made with flour, egg, and water and can be served with soup also. Spaghetti is also a bit thicker than noodles.
To make Greek spaghetti, cook the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water. Then, drain the water and transfer it to a bowl. Heat oil in a pan and fry the garlic in it. Pour the garlic oil over the spaghetti. Then, add tomatoes, olives, basil, and lemon juice to it. Also, add salt and pepper to it and toss gently. Lastly, top the spaghetti with crumbled feta cheese and serve.
