Ingredients
- 1 lb. Spaghetti, 100% durum wheat semolina (I use an Italian import called Garofalo, #9 size)
- 1 Onion, medium size sweet yellow
- 1 Garlic clove, large
- Fresh Greek oregano leaves to taste, stripped from stem
- I Tablespoon Capers
- 1/2 cup Feta, coarsely crumbled
- 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives
- 1 Lemon
- Light olive oil (for saute')
- High quality extra virgin olive oil (to finish the dish)
- Coarse Kosher salt
- Coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
- Put at least 3 quarts of salted fresh water on to boil.
- Heat a saute' pan which is large enough for the cooked pasta and liberally coat pan with with cooking grade olive oil.
- Fine dice onion and add to oiled hot saute pan.
- Season onion dice with salt and pepper and begin clarifying, take care not to brown onions.
- When water is rapidly boiling add spaghetti, stir once after pasta sinks below the surface. Pasta should cook fo about 11 minutes. *
- Crush the garlic clove with the flat of a knife and add to almost clarified onions, toss frequently.
- When pasta is cooked, remove garlic clove from saute pan and add drained but still dripping wet pasta.
- Quickly add oregano leaves, olives and capers (plus any other accent) to saute' pan.
- Toss ingredients over medium high heat to evaporate remaining moisture and coat pasta. (the steam warms the accents)
- Turn pasta into individual pasta bowls.
- Top with feta cheese, drizzle with extra virgin oilve oil to taste.
- Season with coarse black pepper, and 1/4 lemon squeezed over top.
