Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 400 grams cherry tomatoes
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
- 0 for garnish fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. Set the cooked spaghetti aside.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices, forming a light sauce.
Step 5
Crumble the feta cheese into the skillet and stir to combine. Let it melt slightly, creating a creamy consistency.
Step 6
Season the sauce with dried oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce. If the sauce appears too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the spaghetti to serving bowls.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
