Shrimp, Feta, And Dill Spaghetti

While spaghetti is most often associated with Italy, pasta has deep ties to other Mediterranean nations like Greece and several territories of the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula. It has been enjoyed around the world for centuries.

The flavor profile of spaghetti can change significantly depending on which ingredients are added. For example, Spaghetti with Shrimp, Feta and Dill, courtesy of “Real Simple Dinner

Tonight: Done!” (Time Home Entertainment) from the editors of Real Simple, may take its inspiration from Greek cooking.
