Method
 

Cook the Spaghetti
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti until al dente. Add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking. Check package instructions for timing; typically about 6 minutes.
Make the Sauce
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add garlic with a pinch of salt and stir for 10 seconds. Reduce heat to low, then add parsley, grape tomatoes, and chopped scallions. Cook gently for 30–60 seconds.
Combine Pasta with Sauce
  1. Drain the spaghetti and toss it into the skillet with the sauce. Coat thoroughly with the olive oil mixture and season with black pepper. Toss again for even seasoning.
Finish and Serve
  1. Add artichokes, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, torn basil, and lemon zest. Sprinkle optional crushed red pepper flakes. Toss well and serve immediately with extra basil or feta as desired.
