Greek Spaghetti (Makaronia me Kima) image

The meat sauce in this healthy pasta recipe is a Greek take on a red chili. This recipe calls for ground lamb but you could easily use ground beef or ground turkey instead.

Categories     Healthy Greek Lamb Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds ground lamb
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup red wine
1 28-ounce can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes (see Tip)
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
20 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
1 tablespoon butter
Grated Greek hard cheese, such as Kefalotyri, or Pecorino (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook lamb in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring often and breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 7 to 8 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in wine and scrape up any browned bits. Add tomatoes and their juice, water, salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice.
  • Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 1 hour. (Add a little water if it seems too dry.)
  • About 20 minutes before the sauce is ready, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl, add butter and toss until melted. Transfer to a serving platter. Ladle the sauce over the spaghetti. Serve topped with cheese, if desired.

This simple Greek spaghetti recipe only takes 30 minutes to make. Capers, oregano, olives, and feta cheese add unique flavor.

Provided by Elaine Lemm

Categories     Dinner     Entree     Lunch     Pasta

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound San Marzano or small plum tomatoes (on the vine if possible)
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
Kosher salt
1 clove garlic (finely sliced)
1 tablespoon parsley leaves (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon mint leaves (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons capers (rinsed)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3/4 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and chopped)
1/4 cup Halkidiki green olives (pitted and chopped)
1/4 pound crumbled feta cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 F and put a large pot of well-salted water on to boil.
  • Place the whole tomatoes (including the vine if your tomatoes have one) into a ceramic or metal oven dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Roll the tomatoes around a little to cover everything with the oil, then add the garlic slices distributing them evenly into the dish. Place the dish in the center of the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes. The tomatoes will soften and the skin may split.
  • While the tomatoes are cooking, prepare the sauce. Put the chopped parsley, mint, and oregano in a small bowl. Add the rinsed capers, red wine vinegar, and the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Whisk together to create a thick, creamy looking dressing and put it to one side; do not place in the refrigerator.
  • Boil your spaghetti as per the instructions until al dente . Once cooked, drain the pasta and tip back into the warm pan. Stir in the dressing while the spaghetti is hot; it will become very fragrant. Add in the chopped black and green olives and the tomatoes and garlic, including any juice from the cooking dish.
  • To serve either, either transfer the pasta into a large warmed serving bowl for everyone to help themselves or into four individual warmed bowls. Before serving, cover the pasta with a generous helping of feta cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

GREEK SPAGHETTI



Greek Spaghetti image

This is one of my favorite I-need-something-for-dinner-fast recipes. I always keep the feta on hand, so it's always ready-to-go. The best thing about it is, you can adapt it easily to your own taste. I have a friend who makes it with the feta that has basil and sun-dried tomatoes in it, and she recommends that, too, for a variation! I do recommend the butter tho, I tried it once with margarine and didn't care for the difference.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful olive oil, and aromatic herbs are essential for making a delicious Greek spaghetti sauce.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be simmered gently for about 30 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together. Overcooking can make the sauce too thick and bland.
  • Add the feta cheese at the end: This will help to prevent the cheese from melting and becoming rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Greek spaghetti is best enjoyed fresh out of the pot.

Conclusion:

Greek spaghetti is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its combination of fresh tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and creamy feta cheese, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Greek spaghetti a try. You won't be disappointed!
