I love a good spaghetti and meatball dinner as much as the next person, but a little variety is always a good thing!
Spaghetti is different from Greece. Traditionally, it’s not even cooked al dente and is made with meats such as beef, chicken, or seafood! If you’re looking for a new way to try spaghetti in your home, this Greek-inspired recipe will shake things up!
Made in just 15 minutes, this easy Greek spaghetti recipe serves six and will turn any box of spaghetti into a fancy restaurant-worthy meal.

🔪 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Prep a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place a large pot of water over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cook spaghetti according to package instructions.
- In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese, crushed tomatoes, red wine vinegar, seasonings, and garlic until blended.
- Next, stir in the capers and 4 ounces of feta cheese. (The heat of the pasta will help the cheese melt creating a creamy sauce.)
- Add the cooked pasta and about ½ cup of the black olives into the sauce. Toss together to blend.
- Transfer the spaghetti to the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake the spaghetti for 20 minutes or until heated through.
- Once heated through, remove from oven and top with remaining black olives, remaining feta cheese, tomatoes, and cucumber.

📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
- You can also use ground beef or ground chicken to make a meat sauce for this Greek pasta.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten free pasta.
- If you're watching your carbs, you can also make a low-carb casserole by swapping out the pasta for zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese in place of the feta.
- For additional freshness add your favorite fresh herbs. I especially like fresh basil in casserole.
- You could also add chopped red onion or green bell pepper on top.
- For even more flavor, add a little bit of spaghetti seasoning or Mediterranean seasoning to the tomato sauce.
