Lemon, Spinach & Fetta Spaghetti

This is my quick to prepare and easy, weeknight family meal.

Ingredients (serves 4)

500 g Spaghetti
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 Large Red Chili, thinly sliced
100 gms Baby Spinach Leaves
3 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 tsp Lemon Zest, finely grated
100 g Persian Fetta Classic, reserve 2-3 tbsp marinated oil
Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Method

Cook spaghetti according to packet directions, until al dente. Drain well.
Meanwhile, gently heat oil in a large, deep frying pan and add garlic, and chili. Stir-fry over medium heat for 3-4 mins, until soft. Add lemon juice and zest and toss to combine.
Add spaghetti, spinach, fetta and reserved marinated oil to pan and toss to combine evenly. Top with freshly ground black pepper, to serve.

Notes

You could add broccoli florets instead of spinach. I usually use South Cape Persian Fetta found in cheese section of supermarket but Danish Fetta is ok.

As another member mentioned, this looks like a lovely light pasta dish to make. We will be trying it out shortly with our fresh lemons and a addition of fresh chilli from our garden. Thanks for sharing.

This looks SO delicious, love all the ingredients used in here, the lemon zest would give it that extra wow tang factor, as would the feta throughout it, printing this one out. thanks so much.

This would be so delicious, especially with the Persian fetta. I’d love to add some crispy bacon, or smoked salmon.
