  • Feel free to add other Mediterranean ingredients to the pasta, such as olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or feta cheese.
  • For a creamier pasta, you can stir in a few tablespoons of ricotta cheese or cream at the end.

  • Leftover pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the pasta in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
