Easy Weeknight Dinner!

This is the perfect dish for busy weeknights, I really appreciated the fact that it came together so quickly. I also really appreciated the fact that it’s packed with fresh tomatoes – tomatoes are one of my favorite ingredients. And I loved that the hot pasta just cooked them ever so lightly.

Tender spaghetti noodles, an abundance of lightly sweet tomatoes, zesty olives, tangy feta, salty capers, lots of fresh herby flavor and garlicky, robust, extra-virgin olive oil – can’t go wrong with this one can you?? Pretty sure that’s a big NO!

    This was a really good recipe. The mix of ingredience was a perfect balance of flavors. Simple to make.
    I did add just a touch of red pepper. I also cooked the oil, garlic, spaghetti together and only mixed the other ingredience for one portion and refrigerated the unused pasta for later.

    I got a little scared when I saw the large volume of this salad. It makes a lot. But it is delicious. I used dried herbs because I didn’t have fresh and didn’t have capers. But it is so easy to make and quick and wonderful. I will eat it for a few days until it is gone. Will make again.

    LOVE THIS RECIPE! This was so delicious! I didn’t have any calamata olives or capers, so I just used a bunch of black olives. The preparation was very simple and quick. Overall, so yummy and tastes healthy and fresh. :)

    I make a salad similar to this. I marinate my veggies in Italian dressing while cooking the pasta. I rinse my pasta with cold water ,then toss it with Parmesan cheese.then I dress it with ranch dressing and the toss the pasta with the veggies and then feta cheese. It’s a summer favorite with family and I used it in our restaurant.

    I am assuming you can eat this warm or cold like a salad? I just made it and am waiting for it to get cold. It just seems it will be realky good cold. Or chilled
