Greek Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Feta
It's my last free weekend before grad school starts back up, so I am cooking like mad. This Greek Spaghetti Recipe caught my eye due to the italicized banner Quick & Easy. Additionally, it was the Editor's Choice and 4th Place Overall Winner in Cooking Light Five Star Recipes: The Best of 10 Years (1997 Edition). So a lot of recipe experts have already given this one five stars. I find that encouraging. Anything with feta gets an automatic five star vote from me.
