This one-pot spaghetti with Greek tea, feta, and kalamata olives is full of great, fresh Mediterranean flavor and makes for an easy weeknight meal!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 sprigs Greek mountain tea (or green tea)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 8 oz spaghetti, broken in half
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3½ cups water
  • 1 tbsp oregano leaves
  • 2 tsp grated lemon peel
  • 1½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 oz baby spinach
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Break the tea stems into smaller pieces if super long. Put the tea and the bay leaves in a cheesecloth or coffee filter, and tie shut.
  2. In a large pot, combine the cheesecloth bundle, spaghetti, onion, cherry tomatoes, water, oregano, lemon peel, garlic powder, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until pasta is tender and liquid has almost entirely evaporated, stirring frequently.
  3. While still warm, add the spinach, feta, olives, and lemon juice, and toss to combine.
