Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium-sized onion, diced
3 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 pound mixture of green and yellow beans, ends trimmed, and sliced at an angle into 1/2-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/4 pounds spaghetti, fresh or dried
30 Calamata olives, pitted and chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound feta cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • In a small saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat, add the onion and cook slowly until it is translucent. Add the three cloves of minced garlic and continue cooking for one minute. Add the beans and cover the pan. Cook slowly for about 30 minutes, until the beans are soft. If the mixture dries, add a few tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and boil for about two to three minutes if using fresh pasta or 10 to 12 minutes if using dried, until the spaghetti is al dente. (Depending on the brand of spaghetti, cooking times may vary.) Drain well.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chopped olives with the finely chopped garlic. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, toss the diced tomatoes with the fresh lemon juice. Set aside.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the butter until it is nut-colored. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the feta cheese and stir until slightly softened, about five to seven minutes.
  • Transfer a portion of the pasta onto each plate. In a straight line down the center of the plate, top the spaghetti with one mound of the bean mixture, one of the tomato-lemon mixture and a pile of the olive-garlic mixture. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a total flop. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

I thought the flavors were a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.

I wasn't sure about the garlic beans at first, but they really grew on me. They added a nice depth of flavor to the dish.

This was my first time cooking with feta cheese, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it paired with the other ingredients.
