Best Mediterranean Pasta In Minutes Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
• While the water boils and pasta cooks, prep your vegetables and remaining ingredients: mince the garlic; halve the cherry tomatoes; drain and roughly chop the artichokes; drain and slice the olives in half. Once the vegetables start cooking, the recipe goes quickly, so you want to be ready.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes begin to break down and release some juices into the oil, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add the artichokes and olives. Drizzle the lemon juice over the pasta. Continue tossing and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until warmed through. If the pasta seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as desired. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley. Toss once more and enjoy.

MEDITERRANEAN PASTA (15 MINUTES)

Steps:

• Boil the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water with a hint of olive oil to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, following the time stated on the package. Right before draining, remove 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and reserve. Drain pasta!
• Sauté the garlic and herbs: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper to taste and cook for about 1 minute, stirring now and then. If you'd like to add a kick to this pasta, sauté a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the other ingredients.
• Make the sauce: Add cream cheese, feta cheese, and heavy cream, mixing until the cheese melts and creates a sauce. For extra flavor, squeeze the juice of half lemon if you want. Add the pasta water and then toss the pasta until evenly coated.
• Add the veggies: Finish the Mediterranean pasta by adding tomatoes, olives, and quartered artichokes. Cook for a minute to warm them through. Garnish with parsley, feta, and/or Parmesan cheese.
