About this Recipe
This is a gloriously simple pasta dish that's a true testament to the fact that delicious meals need not be complicated or time-consuming. It's a dish that's sure to transport you straight to the heart of the Mediterranean, with its simple yet sublime flavors.
To begin with, we start by coating our pasta with a luscious layer of oil, which serves as the perfect canvas for our Mediterranean-inspired ingredients. We add some plump cherry tomatoes to the mix, and then we turn to our secret weapon – the El Greco spice blend. It's a fusion of earthy Turkish Oregano, citrusy Sumac, and floral Basil, just to name a few of its star players.
It's this blend that brings the taste of the Mediterranean to your plate, infusing our pasta dish with a subtle yet complex herbiness that will have you begging for more, and makes this meal an absolute crowd-pleaser.
Add a little grated parmesan to complete the meal, and add your favorite protein if you'd prefer a meatier dish.

Instructions
1
Cook the spaghetti (or any pasta of your choice) according to the directions on the package. Drain, and set aside.
2
In a deep pan on medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then add 4-5 chopped garlic cloves and stir occasionally for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the teaspoon of chile flakes and stir for one minute longer.
3
Add 2 cups of sliced cherry tomatoes to the mixture in the pan. Let them heat until they begin to burst, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes.
4
Once the tomatoes have begun to pop, add in the cooked spaghetti, the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil, and 5 tablespoons of El Greco blend. Use tongs to toss the spaghetti well, getting an even coating of the spice and oil mixture on the pasta.
5
Add Pacific Flake Salt to taste. Toss again and serve hot.
