Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound whole-wheat spaghetti pasta
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (4-ounce) pieces salmon
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons capers
1 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the pan and cook until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove the salmon from the pan.
  • Add the basil, capers, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the spaghetti mixture and toss to combine. Set out 4 serving plates or shallow bowls. Place 1/2 cup spinach in each bowl. Top with 1/4 of the pasta. Top each mound of pasta with a piece of salmon. Serve immediately.

Provided by April Anderson

Categories     Dinner

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces spaghetti
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1/3 cup halved Kalamata olives
1/2 cup roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
1 (10-ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained and quartered (use the kind marinated in herbs)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook it according to package directions.
  • While the spaghetti is boiling, add the garlic and olive oil to a small pan. Heat the oil over medium-low heat and let the garlic gently cook in the oil, for about ten minutes. Adjust the heat, if needed, so the garlic doesn't brown too quickly. After ten minutes discard the garlic and turn off the heat.
  • Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and return it to the pot. Add everything, except the feta cheese, to the pot with the spaghetti and toss it all to combine. Add 3/4 of the feta, reserve some for serving, and give it one more gentle toss. Serve right away with the extra feta on the side.

Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon kosher salt (plus 1 teaspoon, divided)
6 ounces whole wheat angel hair pasta (whole wheat spaghetti, or similar whole wheat noodles (I recommend DeLallo whole wheat pasta))
4 cloves garlic
2 cups grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes)
1 can quartered artichoke hearts ((14 ounces))
1 can whole pitted black olives ((6 ounces))
3 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley (chopped)

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.
