Greek Pasta

Serves 4

  • /2 pound spaghetti

  • 1 can (2¼ ounces) sliced ripe olives or Calamata olives

  • 5 shallots

  • ¾ cup (4 ounces) sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, plus 3 tablespoons of the oil

  • 8 ounces feta cheese

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water until tender but still firm, 8 to 9 minutes.

  • Drain well, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water for the pasta sauce.

  • Meanwhile, drain the olives (pit and slice olives if using calamata olives) and chop the shallots.

  • Slice the sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips. Pour 3 tablespoons of the sun-dried tomato oil into a large frying pan. Cook the shallots in the tomato oil over medium-high heat until soft, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Add the tomatoes to the pan and toss to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.

  • Crumble the feta cheese into the tomato mixture. Add the olives and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Add the spaghetti and reserved pasta water to the pan and toss the ingredients together over low heat until the mixture is thoroughly combined and heated through.
