Pasta With Feta and Green Olives

Hi, I’m Yasmin. And today, we’re making a pasta with green olives and feta. This pasta is super easy. I first started making it when I was a little bit hungover, and I had all the rest of the ingredients for marinated olives. It doesn’t require a lot of skill as you’re pretty much only using a knife to smash the olives. Bring your pasta water to a boil. Tip in the pasta. Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the olives in an even layer until they blister and brown. Then, take off the heat. Stir in the garlic, red pepper and lemon zest. And stir, stir, stir for about 30 seconds. Reserve one cup pasta water, drain and tip back into the pot along with the olive mixture, 3/4 cup of pasta water, lemon juice. Now stir until smooth and glossy. Take off the heat. Stir in the feta chunks and a little bit of red pepper flakes and black pepper if you want. And ta-da, you’re done. Hope you enjoy.
