What Is Mediterranean Spaghetti ?
Inspired by the flavors of our childhood, Mediterranean
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
We love pasta recipes in all their shapes and sizes. However, meals don’t get much better than this Mediterranean
- Bakes in a single dish with no boiling required.
- Uses simple, easy-to-find ingredients.
- Is naturally vegetarian and nut-free and can easily be modified to fit a variety of dietary needs.
- Makes up to 8 servings in a single batch, making it perfect for even the hungriest of crowds.

Ingredients You’ll Need
This vegetarian dish is full of vitamins, nutrients, and fiber to keep you satisfied and full! Here’s everything you’ll need:
- Pasta – Use any kind of raw
spaghetti noodles you like best. - Sauce – To save time, we use a store-bought marinara sauce. However, if you’re feeling up to it, you could also make your own!
- Vegetables – Baby tomatoes, artichoke hearts, garlic, and red onions combine not only to create a pretty appearance but also to provide a tangy, savory, and vibrant flavor.
- Olives – Kalamata and green olives combine to add a pop of texture, a briny, salty flavor, and satiating fats.
- Seasonings – Oregano or Italian seasoning (depending on how strong your marinara sauce is), salt, and pepper are all you need to enhance the savory flavors of the rest of the dish.
- Olive Oil – This simply helps combine the ingredients and prevents the pasta from clumping together.

How to Store and Reheat
We love to make a double batch of this Mediterranean
- Refrigerator: Once cooked and fully cooled, leftovers can be transferred to an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer: For a longer-lasting option, wrap your dish tightly. Or transfer it to a freezer-safe container, and keep it frozen for up to 1 month.
- To Reheat: Thaw your frozen
spaghetti in the fridge overnight. Then, warm it up in the microwave. Or, pop it back in the oven with a splash of broth or water to freshen it back up.
