    You may have noticed, we love our Mediterranean food here at GypsyPlate. From our Mediterranean stuffed peppers and zucchini, to regional classics like Greek meatballs, Sicilian eggplant caponata, and Portuguese mussels, we’re always cooking up something from the region.

    This Mediterranean pasta is one of our new favorites. How easy is it? Boil pasta, do a little chopping, and mix. That’s it!

    As simple as it is, the combination of flavors is amazing. Cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, feta cheese, some herbs and a good dousing of olive oil make for a super delicious and super healthy dinner.

    Ingredients

    • Pasta – We are using bow ties, or farfalle, today. You can use whatever you have on hand, or whatever shape you prefer.
    • Extra virgin olive oil
    • Garlic
    • Kalamata olives
    • Cherry Tomatoes
    • Marinated artichoke hearts
    • Red chili flakes
    • Oregano
    • Parsley
    • Feta cheese

    How to make this easy Mediterranean Pasta

    Boil the pasta according to the directions on the package.

    Chop everything up. We like to cut the garlic into thin slices and halve the kalamata olives and cherry tomatoes.

    Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in garlic and red chili flakes and stir for a minute or two, then add in cherry tomatoes for another minute or so.

    Add in the pasta along with olives, artichoke hearts, oregano and parsley. Give it a quick stir, garnish with feta cheese and… done!

    Variations

    • If you want some added protein, chicken, sausage or shrimp go great in this dish. Just cook them, remove to a plate and stir back in with the pasta.
    • For added veggie power, add some spinach in with the garlic and cook till it wilts.
    • Some fresh basil is a great addition to this pasta.
    • Garnish it with some toasted pine nuts.

    What to serve Mediterranean Pasta with

    This is a great dinner all on it’s own. That being said, it can also pair well with a nice fresh salad, grilled chicken, or some nice crusty bread.

    Leftovers

    This Mediterranean pasta is great refrigerated for 3-4 days in an airtight container. And the leftovers are great reheated or cold.

    Tip: Serve leftovers as a salad and use the leftover artichoke marinade as a dressing.
