Spaghetti With Tomatoes Black Olives Garlic And Feta Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, 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.

Steps:

• Combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon zest, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse several times to combine. With motor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil until dip is smooth and creamy, approximately 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Transfer mixture to a bowl or onto a plate and top with sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and parsley. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and serve.

Steps:

• In a small saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat, add the onion and cook slowly until it is translucent. Add the three cloves of minced garlic and continue cooking for one minute. Add the beans and cover the pan. Cook slowly for about 30 minutes, until the beans are soft. If the mixture dries, add a few tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and boil for about two to three minutes if using fresh pasta or 10 to 12 minutes if using dried, until the spaghetti is al dente. (Depending on the brand of spaghetti, cooking times may vary.) Drain well.
• In a small bowl, combine the chopped olives with the finely chopped garlic. Set aside.
• In another small bowl, toss the diced tomatoes with the fresh lemon juice. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan, heat the butter until it is nut-colored. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the feta cheese and stir until slightly softened, about five to seven minutes.
• Transfer a portion of the pasta onto each plate. In a straight line down the center of the plate, top the spaghetti with one mound of the bean mixture, one of the tomato-lemon mixture and a pile of the olive-garlic mixture. Serve immediately.
