My husband is half Italian, and he will sometimes take an entire Saturday to make fresh pasta the way his mother did when he was little, from scratch with a hand-turned pasta machine. It tastes great, but takes a lot of time and effort. So, even though he feels he’s being disloyal to his Mediterranean roots, we usually buy dried pasta.

We do eat pasta dishes at our home often. Here’s a quick and easy one that you can do in minutes. 

Feta and Tomato Pasta Dish

Cooked spaghetti

¼ cup olive oil

½ to 1 onion, chopped

2 to 3 cloves of minced garlic (you can substitute the refrigerated kind)

4 small fresh tomatoes, chopped

1 tsp oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1/3 white wine

4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled

Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Stir constantly so the garlic won’t burn. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook for about two minutes. Take off the heat. Add the crumbled feta cheese and toss with the cooked spaghetti. Serve immediately.
