Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 100 ml olive oil
- 8 pieces garlic cloves
- 300 grams tomatoes
- 50 grams Santorini capers
- 20 grams fresh parsley
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Thinly slice the garlic cloves and sauté in the olive oil until golden and fragrant, taking care not to burn them.
Finely chop the tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down into a sauce.
Rinse the Santorini capers to remove excess salt, then add them to the skillet and stir to combine.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if using. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and crumble the feta cheese.
Plate the spaghetti and top with the parsley, feta cheese, and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this traditional Greek dish!
