1 pound Thin spaghetti
1/2 cup Early Harvest Greek Extra Virgin Olive oil
4 clove Garlic cloves, crushed
1 pinch Salt
1 cups Parsley, chopped
12 ounce Grape tomatoes, halved
3 Scallions (green onions), tops trimmed, both whites and green chopped

Steps:

Follow package instructions to cook spaghetti to al dente
When pasta is almost cooked, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Lower the heat and add garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 seconds, stirring regularly.
Stir in the parsley, tomatoes, and chopped scallions. Cook over low heat until just warmed through, about 30 seconds
Remove pasta from heat, drain cooking water and return to its cooking pot. Pour the warmed olive oil sauce in and toss to coat thoroughly. Add black pepper and toss again.
Add the remaining ingredients and toss one more time.
