A quick, fresh tasting weeknight meal ready in under 20 minutes! Ingredients:
8 ounces thin whole wheat spaghetti |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/3 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup kalamata olive, pitted chopped |

1 teaspoon anchovy paste |
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, preferably no salt added |

Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add pasta and cook according to the directions on the package.
