Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 4 tablespoons Meyer lemon olive oil (recommended: Da Vero)
  • 2 large red onions, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, cubed
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes adding salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the marjoram, and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cooked pasta and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and toss with enough reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Toss with the feta cheese. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to bowls and serve.

    This recipe was rather bland and dry as written. It seems that a lot of people who give it more stars have tinkered with the recipe somehow. I tried to make it as close to as written as possible and was rather disappointed.

    this dish was really good and easy to make. i was shocked by the flavor but it was delicious! we added chicken breast to it and sliced it really thin when it was frozen, than was a great idea!

    Like other reviewers, I added fresh lemon juice to regular olive oil. I used dried marjoram and added a few toasted pine nuts. This is now a favorite meal in my house!
