Garlicky Greek Spaghetti Toss

My kind of food!! I absolutely love Greek and Mediterranean food, there’s just so much fresh, flavorful goodness in it. And this Garlicky Greek Spaghetti Toss is no exception to that, it’s so easy to make yet is so perfectly delicious! Plus, this is a dish that can be ready in about 20 minutes! Just boil spaghetti, then chop the fresh ingredients while it’s boiling, quickly saute the garlic in the olive oil to remove the harsh bite and toss it all together and tadahhhh dinners ready! Yes ma’am (and yes sir)!
This is the perfect meal for busy weeknights, I really appreciated the fact that it came together so quickly. I also really appreciated the fact that it’s packed with fresh tomatoes – tomatoes are one of my favorite ingredients. And I loved that the hot pasta just cooked them ever so lightly.
