We also love making this spaghetti recipe when we entertain because it stress-free and everyone loves it. We always get asked for the recipe…so here you go! You all need to add this Spaghetti with Sun Dried Tomatoes & Spinach to your dinner rotation.

We used Barilla Whole Grain Spaghetti to make this recipe. Barilla Whole Grain is all-natural and excellent source of fiber, delivering three times the fiber of regular pasta. There are 6 grams of fiber per serving. If you are looking for an easy way to eat more whole grains this year, simply switch to eating whole grain pasta. It is just as easy to make and tastes great.

I actually like whole grain pasta better than white pasta. It has a slight nutty flavor that I love. Josh and Caleb love it too! Caleb loves playing in it, but he eventually eats it and enjoys it:)

We keep several boxes Barilla Whole Grain pasta in our pantry so we can always make a quick and healthy meal.

For this spaghetti dish, I tossed in sun dried tomatoes, spinach, balsamic vinegar, toasted garlic, and feta cheese. All of the ingredients are flavor power houses and come together to create an amazing meal…with very little work involved. The Barilla Whole Grain Spaghetti only takes about 7 minutes to boil and the other ingredients are easy to prepare as well. You can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in under 30 minutes.

  17. It’s not necessarily a recipe but we keep our spaghetti healthy by using whole grain pasta and making our sauces from scratch. There’s something so satisfying about making an entire pot of sauce and freezing some, eating some, and giving some away!

  18. A wheat pasta and have a chunky tomato sauce with extra veggies and add extra tomatoes
    annabella @ centurytel dot net

  19. We like whole grain spaghetti, heirloom tomatoes, a little EVO, fresh mozzarella, and a bit of fresh basil! 🙂

  21. My favorite spaghetti recipe is a cold noodle salad mixed with red peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic and vinegar.

  22. I like to throw a ton of spinach in at the end of the pasta cooking time and just eat it with shaved parmesan cheese and a little butter.

  23. I love to saute mushrooms–all kinds and serve on top of the pasta with a generous amount of Parmigiano Reggiano.

  24. My favorite spaghetti recipe is tossing with garlic, olive oil, toasted pine nuts, olives, diced tomatoes, and a little parmesan.

  25. yummy! love spinach and feta together with pasta. My other favorite spaghetti recipe is simple – whole grain spaghetti with a bit of oil, garlic and broccoli. Kids love it too!

  28. Test Kitchen’s Low Fat Spagetti Carbonara. Using fat free evaporated milk and only 1 egg + 1 egg white, couple of Tbl of mayo, some white wine. Only 2/3 C grated cheese, 3 slices of cooked bacon, a couple of ounces of Canadian bacon chopped up, garlic, salt and pepper. I add some steamed brocolli and sauteed onions too.

  29. I subcribe to Two Peas & Their Pod e-mails. I regret not knowing about this blog before. You have alot of really unique ideas that I would really like to try myself.

  30. I “liked” Barilla Pasta quite a while ago and enter their contest on Woman’s Day Magazine on-line every day.

  31. Some fresh tomatoes, basil, with just a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar! Yum! Easy to add grilled chicken, shrimp, scallops, or fish to the top!

  32. Ironically, I’ve made this exact same dish before but instead of whole grain spaghetti, I used whole grain fusilli. It’s my favorite go-to pasta dish. It’s so easy to make and everyone always loves it! The first time I made it was for a small dinner party I had at my apt with some friends. It was quick and easy to make a big pot of pasta for everyone 🙂

  33. This looks incredible – I love the vitamin c from the tomatoes that helps absorb the iron from the spinach. YUM! My favorite healthy spaghetti recipe is with pesto, chicken and swiss chard.

  34. Mmmm this looks so good!! My fave healthy pasta recipe is whole wheat noodles tossed with avocado sauce. In a processor: Toss an avocado, a few squeezes of lemon juice, pepper, a clove or two of garlic, a small squeeze of sriracha (if you like spicy) and give it a whirl. Toss with your pasta. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest. Simple, bright, tasty and healthy!

  35. My favorite way to make “creamy” spaghetti dishes is to throw in goat cheese to the hot, drained pasta. Healthier than a creamy sauce like alfredo, and the flavor of goat cheese is so much better in my opinion. Then I toss in some kind of roasted or steamed vegetable, like broccoli or asparagus.

  36. This flavor combination looks fantastic! I love the addition of the balsamic! My favorite healthy spaghetti is a simple pasta with tomatoes, basil and lots of garlic!

  37. I love whole grain pasta with olive oil, garlic, broccoli, kalamata olives and a little bit of cheese…yum!

  38. In the summer, I love to use veggies from our garden (tomatoes, peppers, squash) and toss it with whole wheat penne or rigatoni and some olive oil and spices (also from our garden)!

  39. I love spaghetti with plain old marinara sauce. I make my own to try to bring down the sugar and sodium content.

  40. I use my mom’s fresh tomato sauce recipe. Can’t wait to get my garden started this year so I can make a lot of sauce and can it.

  41. I like spaghetti with roma tomatoes, sweet onion, garlic, basil and a little sour cream mixed in….YUM!!! So easy!

  42. My favorite is during the summer when my garden is at its peak. Fresh basil, vine ripened cherry tomatoes, fresh garlic, a little bit of parmigiano/reggiano cheeses, a bit of good olive oil, and a few roasted pine nuts. Yum, Yum!!!

  43. I love the Pioneer Woman’s 16-minute schrimp scampi whttp://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/04/16-minute-meal-shrimp-scampi/ith angel hair pasta.

  44. I’ve got to try this one! My kids just love a basic tomato sauce spaghetti….I love it with a few more ingredients!

  45. … ummm … virtually ANY pasta recipe is healthy (IMHO) , IF it’s accompanied by a good glass of wine !! …

  46. My favorite healthy pasta is a ratatouille pasta. Stir fry tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, onions with fresh herbs in some olive oil and then add to cooked pasta and top with a bit of parmesan. Yum!

  47. Just made a similar recipe for last night’s dinner! It came from Giada on The Food Network. However, it didn’t incorporate the tomatoes, so I’m adding that note to mine.

  48. Tossed with tomatoes fresh from my garden,crushed garlic,fresh basil, mozzarella & parmesan with a sprinkle of salt & pepper on top.

  49. This looks delicious. We tend to eat spaghetti the traditional way, so having something new, refreshing and delicious will definitely be welcome at our table!

  50. I subscribe to your blog. Thanks so much for great recipes and commentaries.

    I would like to try the Barilla pasta. I have recently discovered Dreamfields hi fiber pasta and really like it. I have wondered how the Barilla compared in taste.

  51. National spaghetti day?! I love it! You have combined my two favorite ingredients in this pasta. I could eat sundried tomatoes and spinach every day! Delicious 🙂

  52. This is beautiful and I just love these flavors in this dish! I prefer whole grain pasta more than white as well.

  53. My favorite healthy spaghetti recipe is just plain ol’ whole wheat pasta with turkey meatballs and homemade sauce!

  54. I like a simple preparation with broccoli, chicken, spinach and cherry tomatoes, with a little olive oil, parm and the cooking water. Maybe a sprinkling of garlic bread crumbs over the top.

  55. I don’t know that I have a favorite… but I’m quite partial to a homemade red sauce with seared olives.

  56. My favorite is actually a salad – your Southwestern Pasta Salad w / the creamy avocado dressing. Easy, quick and so good.

  58. my favorite healthy spaghetti recipe as to be spaghetti squash with homemade tomato sauce (minus all that sugar and processed foods!) Oh my, but I can’t wait to try yours tonight for dinner!!

  59. like barilla on fb

    (apologies if this posts twice. I was told I was posting too fast and I think my first comment was deleted.)

  60. My favorite spaghetti recipe is either with whole wheat spaghetti or spaghetti squash. I use ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, capers, crushed red peppers, red wine, chopped parsley, and chopped oregano. My husband is allergic to all mammalian meat so is a hearty sauce that he can eat without worrying about the location of the epi pen.

  61. I’m not sure I’d call it a recipe, but pasta with a vegetable heavy red sauce with additional vegetables sauteed and added is always a winner with me. Pasta with a mushroom, onion, and white wine sauce thickened with a little bit of goat cheese or neufchatel for added depth, topped with sauteed broccoli also is a favorite.

  62. My favorite healthy spaghetti dish is the macaroni & cheese from the Budget Bytes blog! Ok maybe it’s not super healthy… but it has no butter or flour, half the cheese of other recipes I’ve used (and I use reduced-fat cheese and it still tastes great)… and I use fat free milk and whole wheat Barilla (yes Barilla! I do use your pasta and love it) and it still tastes great!

  63. My favorite healthy pasta is chock full of veggies, so it is satifying without being a carb overload. And I like it spicy!

  64. Our favorite is whole wheat spaghetti with homemade marinara and lots of parm/romano cheese from our friends that are cheesemakers!

  65. I make a pesto with broccoli, olive oil, and garlic, toss it with Barilla Whole Grain Spaghetti, and top it with freshly grated parmigiano reggiano. It’s a delicious way to get the kids to eat their broccoli!

  66. Baked, with gobs of cheese. Because as long as I mix some spinach into the sauce, it cancels out the cheese.

  67. Hmmm… I’m not sure if I really have any healthy pasta recipes. I think my healthiest is spaghetti with tuna fish, olive oil and capers!

  68. This is the same kind of pasta I use, only I normally opt for the thin or angel hair spaghetti. Typically I just make it with a simple tomato sauce, with meat or meatballs, my boys need meat!

  69. Whole wheat pasta with chicken, feta, olives and whatever fresh herbs I have. Drizzled with a bit of olive oil/lemon. Perfect!

  70. i follow your blog!

    and my favorite healthy receipe is whole wheat fussili pasta with lemon, basil, sliced almonds, cranberries, garlic and arugula. so good!

  71. My favorite healthy spaghetti recipe is one that has spaghetti sauce that does not have HFCS or any unhealthy additives.

  72. I like whole wheat pasta with sauce and spicy turkey sausage or turkey meatballs…that’s healthy in my book :o)

  74. I LOVE summertime and my favorite healthy dish is hot angel hair pasta with a mixture of cold cucumber, onion, garlic, basil and tomatoes from my garden – YUM!

  75. my favorite way to make spaghetti is warm olive oil with garlic powder, chili powder and paprika and parmeasean mixed in and drizzled over pasta to moisten it, yum

  76. Anything that is topped with lots of fresh veggies… summertime is my favorite for making pastas because you can load up on whatever is at the farmers market, cook them down with tomatoes and pile it all on top of perfect spaghetti noodles. I also like whole grain pasta better than white- it adds nice flavor!

  77. For a quick weeknight meal, mix a diced tomato with some storebought pesto, salt, and pepper. Pour on top of cooked pasta.

  78. I love fresh tomatoes slightly cooked with garlic and olive oil. Throw in some fresh basil and you’re done. Yummy! And Barilla is my favorite pasta!

  82. I love pasta anytime anyway but one of my favorites is plain with butter and a bit of garlic dash of basil.

  83. Penne with a red sauce, black olives, and cubes of Gouda cheese that partially melt in the hot pasta. Heaven!

  84. We love whole grain pasta, it seems like the white stuff leaves us hungry still! I love to make a healthier alfredo using lowfat cream cheese instead of cream. Yummy!

  85. I like a whole grain pasta tossed with quartered cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, fresh basil and a bit of fresh grated parmesan.

  86. One of my favorite dishes when I was younger was my mom’s Spaghetti Pie. It was a crazy (and not super healthful) combination of noodles, sauce, and cream cheese, with a golden crust of even more cheese baked on top. Now a days, I’m more likely to opt for a dollop of kale pesto with my spaghetti, but that casserole still holds a special place in my heart!

  87. I love making wheat pasta with sauted garlic, mushrooms, shallots and spinach with chicken tossed in a little bit of olive oil and chicken stock or wine white and sprinkled with parmesan cheese…very tasty and light!

  88. I follow Two Peas and Their Pod on Pinterest (username: caseyamoore). Woo hoo! Pasta is my favorite food (and greatest vice!). It would be awesome to win this giveaway. 🙂

  93. My favorite healthy spaghetti recipe consists of whole wheat spaghetti noodles tossed with roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes from our garden (red and yellow are pretty!), extra virgin olive oil, sliced Greek olives, minced garlic, and chopped Italian parsley. Sprinkle with a grating of good Parmesan cheese, a grind of fresh pepper, and you have a beautiful pasta dish!

  95. I love spaghetti tossed in lemon juice and fresh basil, topped with a little bit of parmesan. Tastes to fresh!

  96. I don’t participate in all the giveaways – too much time/effort with all the steps. What I want to say is I am interested in the comments regarding the recipes, but with your giveaway criteria, it just makes it pointless with all the “I follow you on FB” comments.. Maybe there’s something you could do different here for the two groups of people?

  97. My favorite healthy pasta recipe is whole wheat pasta with some creamy goat cheese mixed in and lots of warm vegetables! Add some lean chicken and I am set!

  98. I have a recipe for a greek pasta. Spaghetti noodles, olive oil, kalamata olives and feta cheese. Delicious!

  99. One of the first times my boyfriend ever cooked a real meal for me, he cooked a Bev Cooks spaghetti recipe with sausage, parmesan and spinach…I think sun dried tomatoes were in her original recipe too, so it was really similar to this!! It was so good 🙂

  100. I actually use this pasta and I’m quite fond of it, I toss it with some baked aidell’s brand chicken sausage (sun-dried tomato flavor) and freshly grated parmagiano reggiano cheese which I learned is made with skim milk so already better for you!

  101. I make my own marinara sauce with olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and herbs and serve it over my pasta. I love to add goat cheese and let it melt in–it makes the sauce creamy and tastes delicious!

  102. I always de-fat the meat before I put it into the sauce. To make it even leaner I use ground turkey. My favorite sauces are Barilla Marinara and Tuscan Herb.

  103. We usually do pasta with homemade sauce and broccoli. I’ve been wanting to try the avocado sauce and pasta I saw on Pinterest. Our favorite pasta dish though is Artichoke and spinach lasagna.

  104. i toss pasta with cooked chicken breast, crisp tender veggies, a LOT of garlic and just a tiny splash of cream. the boyfriend goes CRAZY for that recipe.

  157. I like to just throw something together. One I like is whole wheat or vegetable pasta with olive oil, tomatoes, some parmesan and possibly pesto or another vegetable.

  158. I made this today, only with regular spaghetti. I loved it! Only thing I’d change in the recipe is: don’t salt the water you’re boiling your pasta into! I know it may come as a shock to pasta purists but… dried tomatoes are salty, and so is feta. That’s more than enough salt!

  159. Great recipe Maria and Josh! We never tried sun-dried tomatoes with spinach before, but the addition of feta is what combines them perfectly, right?:)
    We are blessed with having lots of high quality (sheep’s milk) feta here in Greece, so this is a fantastic choice:)

  160. Loved this recipe! I added some mushrooms and it’s officially my new go to pasta dish I ate it cold and it was just as awesome

  161. I made this pasta tonight and it was very tasty. Quick, easy and lots of flavour.
    I’m wondering if I could add chicken?

  162. Most people don’t know that scalp therapy shampoos for fast hair growth (of course without any sulfates, parabens or DEA) exist. Hair styling enthusiasts are now able to attain longer hair and achieve more options. Undoubtedly worth reading.

    Whether you’re talking about hair loss, damaged hair, preventing hair disorders, hair growth, hair care in general, almost the same principles become relevant.

    As a rule of thumb, you have to steer clear of hair products and treatments that include chemicals like parabens, DEA or sulfates.

    What is good for your hair is good for your skin also.

    Obviously the content here hits the nail in the head for various reasons. It steers away from the common traps and mistakes too many fall into: using ineffective alternatives. Thank you so much!
