Ingredients
  

8 oz whole wheat spaghetti

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup spinach, fresh

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped red onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

      Add More Veggies: Stir in the diced zucchini and red bell pepper, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they soften. Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts.

        Combine Everything: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss well with the vegetable mixture. If it seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

          Season: Sprinkle in the dried oregano and basil, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Gently toss to combine.

            Finishing Touches: Remove from heat and fold in the crumbled feta cheese. Allow the heat of the pasta to warm the feta slightly.

              Serve: Divide the Healthy Greek Spaghetti among serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
