Ingredients

  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 pints grape or cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • ½ cup kalamata olives halved
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped

Instructions

  • In a large pot bring water to a boil and add a large pinch of salt. Cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package directions. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer, until fragrant.
  • Add grape tomatoes, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. As they soften, squash the tomatoes with the spoon to release their juice and make a chunky sauce.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti, about ¾ of the feta, and the olives to the pan and toss to combine.
  • Garnish with remaining feta and fresh basil and serve.
