    Recipe Introduction


    Nutrient note: Whole-wheat spaghetti is loaded with fiber and B
    vitamins; tomatoes are brimming with lycopene; and olives are a good
    source of monounsaturated fat.

    List of Ingredients




    12 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    3 cloves garlic
    1 28-ounce can petite-cut diced tomatoes or regular diced tomatoes
    12 pitted Greek (Kalamata or Gaeta) olives, quartered
    2 tablespoons drained capers
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

    Recipe



    Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and cover with
    foil to keep warm.

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic
    and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes, olives, capers, red pepper flakes and
    oregano, and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer,
    uncovered, 10 minutes, until mixture thickens slightly. Stir in basil
    and remove from heat.
