Provided by Linda Wells

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium-sized onion, diced
3 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 pound mixture of green and yellow beans, ends trimmed, and sliced at an angle into 1/2-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/4 pounds spaghetti, fresh or dried
30 Calamata olives, pitted and chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound feta cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • In a small saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat, add the onion and cook slowly until it is translucent. Add the three cloves of minced garlic and continue cooking for one minute. Add the beans and cover the pan. Cook slowly for about 30 minutes, until the beans are soft. If the mixture dries, add a few tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and boil for about two to three minutes if using fresh pasta or 10 to 12 minutes if using dried, until the spaghetti is al dente. (Depending on the brand of spaghetti, cooking times may vary.) Drain well.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chopped olives with the finely chopped garlic. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, toss the diced tomatoes with the fresh lemon juice. Set aside.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the butter until it is nut-colored. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the feta cheese and stir until slightly softened, about five to seven minutes.
  • Transfer a portion of the pasta onto each plate. In a straight line down the center of the plate, top the spaghetti with one mound of the bean mixture, one of the tomato-lemon mixture and a pile of the olive-garlic mixture. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut green beans. If using fresh green beans, trim the ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, use a good quality olive oil. Look for one that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  • Be sure to let the green beans marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than overnight. This will give the flavors time to develop.
  • You can grill, roast, or pan-fry the marinated green beans. If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If roasting, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If pan-frying, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
  • Conclusion:

    Marinated green beans with olives, tomatoes, and feta are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. They are perfect for summer picnics and potlucks, and they also make a great addition to your weekly meal rotation. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and nutritious.
