The Mediterranean diet is about heart-healthy and totally delicious way to eat, focuses on whole foods includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. This pasta recipe is quick and easy to throw together for dinner in a pinch, but is a company worthy entrée, too.

The simplest recipes can often be the most satisfying dishes, the ones that we make over and over again, and this Mediterranean Spaghetti recipe fits that bill!

The quality of the olive oil really shines through in this recipe, so we recommend you to use Secolari Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It’s a blend of manzanillo and mission olives, giving it a balanced complexity – rich green, fruity, and pungent with a peppery finish.
