This Garlic and Olive Oil Pasta is simplicity elevated — a dish that celebrates balance and boldness in every forkful. Tender spaghetti is wrapped in the luxurious richness of Aged Black Garlic Olive Oil, its deep, earthy sweetness layered with the brightness of cherry tomatoes, the punch of sun-dried tomatoes, and the briny bite of olives. Fresh parsley and spring onions bring a garden-fresh lift, while a crumble of Greek feta and a zest of lemon cut through with creamy, citrusy vibrance. The result is a Mediterranean-inspired pasta.

Ingredients
-
400g uncooked thin spaghetti
-
100ml Black Garlic & Co 'Aged Black Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil’
-
Four large cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
120g cherry tomatoes, halved
-
60g olives, pitted and roughly chopped
-
Three heaped tbsp sun-dried tomato strips

30g flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
-
Salt and pepper
-
100g Greek feta cheese, crumbled

Two tsp lemon zest
Directions
Boil the spaghetti until it is tender and cooked to your liking. Drain the spaghetti and run hot water through it so it doesn’t clump together. Set aside briefly.
On a low to medium heat gently warm the Aged Black Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large and deep non-stick frying pan. Once heated add the garlic and lightly fry it for about 1-2 minutes until it isn’t raw. Add the cherry tomatoes, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, spring onions and parsley then gently fry for 2 minutes until the ingredients are warm.
Tip the cooked pasta into the pan and gently combine the ingredients, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Dish up the pasta meal into 4 servings, then sprinkle it with lemon zest and crumbled feta.
Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.
