Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs tomatoes (about 3), seeded and cut into 1/2 pieces
• 1/2 cup Kalamata or other black olives, pitted
• 1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

Step 1

In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, feta, parsley, salt and pepper.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the cooked pasta and the garlic oil to the tomato mixture and toss.
