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.

Just Wonderful!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this reciped because I didn't want a tomato sauce with my spaghetti and I had a lot of feta in my fridge. I didn't... have marjoram on hand so I used flat leaf parsley. I didn't have the lemon Olive Oil, so I just used regular Olive Oil. I added capers, fresh tomatoes and garlic and seasoned it with dried tarragon and dried marjoram and it was the Bomb!!! And it was really Easy. Thanks Giada!!Read more

So much better than I expected!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I couldn't find marjoram or meyer lemon oil so I substituted the marjoram with basil and the lemon oil with olive oil and 1... lemon. I also added red pepper flakes to give it an extra bite. I cooked it for a vegetarian guest with a sophisticated palette as well as my picky husband and they both went in for full helpings of seconds and raved. Thanks Giada!Read more

Surprisingly sweet
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this recipe. I added shrimp and mache. I stirred in the mache at the end and let the pasta heat it. This will be a... regular. Next, I'm going to try the sun-dried tomato suggestion.Read more
