What is up with the Greeks? Believe me, it’s more than just my Greek Pasta on Whole Wheat Angel Hair. 2020 UPDATE: We no longer make angel hair pasta. We have other wonderful substitutes with our Pasta Ruffles, Good Day low carb pasta, and Mighty Pasta (high protein)…
We love their passion, their accents, their large loud families, and their food: Spanakopita, Baklava, and Tzatziki sauce, just to name a few, and oh…let’s not forget their Ouzo (famous liquor/aperitif). And if you drink it – trust me, you will forget!
Greece’s beautiful pristine water and white washed houses are breathtaking….WOW! And let’s not forget a movie that made us fall in love with all things Greek: My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002…am I dating myself?!) My mother and I had the privilege of a Greek vacation when I was in college. My roommate’s parents were living overseas at the time and we decided to visit one of their favorite destinations for Spring break. OK, it was a little off season, but it was still all that I had heard and imagined Greece to be. (PS: this happened before 2002, so I am dating myself. 🙂
In the past few years, Greek and Mediterranean food have been the highlight of many restaurants and menus. The Mediterranean food pyramid has spawned many diets and crazes and even some debate. NOTE: I am currently obsessed like the rest of the world with Greek Yogurt. You know the yogurt, the “healthier” yogurt that is finding its way into so many dishes and cutting the fat out of some of my favorite recipes. Oh Yeah – bring it! I take one to work every day for part of my lunch or a snack. Low calorie and oh so good for you!
So, this brings me to today’s inspired recipe: Angel Hair Greek Pasta. I decided to use our whole wheat angel hair. You will love the freshness and lightness of this dish. It’s all that you expect, but even better. The flavor combination is enhanced by the textures – crunchy cucumbers, soft and intense feta cheese bites, sweet tomatoes, and the delicious taste of our whole wheat pasta. And it’s hard to argue with the prettiness. 🙂
Regarding the pasta choice, yes, you can make this with just about any pasta shape – short or long. BUT, the wholesomeness of whole wheat pasta makes this extra special….and the kids will eat it too! Plus, I’ve given you a short cut in the recipe….so check it out…and you are welcome!! I hope you enjoy!
