By SharonE

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (about 3), seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons drained capers
• 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
• 3/4 pound spaghetti
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation

Step 1

In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the tomatoes, feta, capers, 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.
