Ingredients

  • 8 cups medium-sized pasta such as farfalle or penne pasta
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion
  • 1/4 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 4 cups green bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 4 cups red bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup black olives sliced
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions for al dente pasta. Drain and drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Saute for 2 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the peppers and cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Stir in olives, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the cooked pasta and reserved cooking water, stirring gently to coat the pasta. Remove from heat.
  • Gently stir the feta cheese into the cooled pasta.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, transfer to a large bowl, and serve.
