LOW FODMAP DIET GREEK TOMATO PASTA Recipe

When I saw a photo of a recipe just like this one in a grocery store ad—no recipe included—I knew I had to re-create it myself. And I did! This low-FODMAP Greek-inspired pasta features cherry tomatoes that are sautéed until they blister, and they’re delicious when they pop in your mouth. It’s especially good when it’s served alongside a simple baked tilapia: Sprinkle tilapia fillets with lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika and bake at 425°F (220°C, or gas mark 7) for about 10 minutes while you prepare the pasta.

YIELD: 4 SERVINGS

LOW FODMAP GREEK BLISTERED-TOMATO PASTA Steps

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions. Set aside ¼ cup (60 ml) of
    the cooking liquid.
  3. Drain the spaghetti and rinse under cold running water.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the garlic and cook until it starts to brown.
  6. Remove the garlic from the pan and discard.
  7. Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté until they start to blister or pop, about 1½ to 2 minutes.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the spinach, Kalmata olives, and anchovy paste.
  9. Continue sautéing until the spinach is wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the oregano,
    kosher salt, and black pepper.
  10. Toss the drained spaghetti into the tomato mixture using a pair of tongs,
    adding the reserved pasta liquid to keep the pasta from sticking.
  11. Cook just until heated through.
  12. Stir in the feta cheese and serve immediately.
