Greek-Style Spaghetti image

A wholesome and scrumptious Greek-style Spaghetti packed full of Mediterranean vegetables stir-fried until just tender, then flavoured with a blend of honey and balsamic vinegar. The vegetables are then tossed with the pasta and topped with crumbled feta cheese. Delicious. A dish just made to be eaten with a bottle of your favourite wine. I am posting this recipe, from one adapted from an International Masters '1001 recipes for pan or wok' recipe card, for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 baby eggplants
1 small red capsicum
1 small yellow capsicum
1 zucchini
1 red onion
4 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
225 g dried whole wheat spaghetti
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons clear honey
100 g feta cheese
baby spinach leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • Trim the eggplants and cut into small, equal-sized pieces; deseed and chop the capsicums; peel, trim and chop the onion; peel and chop the garlic. Put the onion and garlic in a bowl and toss in the lemon juice.
  • Cook the pasta in a pan or wok of lightly salted boiling water according to the packet instructions. Drain well and return to the pan or wok and toss in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a separate pan or wok, and cook all the vegetables over a medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are just tender. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and the honey.
  • Add the pasta to the vegetables and toss gently until they are well-combined. Crumble the feta cheese over the dish, season with pepper and garnish with baby spinach leaves or your favourite herb and serve immediately.
  • Variation: For a milder taste, perhaps for children, use mozzarella cheese instead of feta.
