This was good, but not great. It may have helped to put sauce in pasta pan and then add pasta back in pan after draining, and heat - as dish was "luke warm." The heat might have also helped meelet the feta cheese a bit.

Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked spaghetti
- 2 cups chopped seeded peeled tomato (about 5 medium tomatoes)
- 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled ricotta salata or feta cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
Preparation
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
- Combine tomato and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add pasta, and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
- Tip: Quickly peel tomatoes by plunging them into the boiling pasta water (before adding the pasta) for 20 seconds; remove with a slotted spoon, and quickly rinse under cold water. The skins will slip right off.
