Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F Combine tomatoes, oil, garlic,.
- vinegar, and crushed red pepper in 13x9x2- inch glass baking dish (I think you can use any baking dish!). Season to taste with pepper and a tiny bit of salt. Roast until tomatoes are tender and juicy, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Stir in oregano. (Can be made several hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Later, preheat oven to 375 and reheat for 10 minutes while pasta is cooking.).
- Measure and get ready capers, olives, and feta cheese. Rinse both capers and feta cheese to remove excess salt. Gently pat dry. Toast pine nuts for just a few minutes in a 300 oven - if using (Nuts can be toasted earlier in the day too! ) Watch the nuts as they toast so they don't burn - this happens very quickly.
- Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Return to pot. Add tomato mixture, olives, and capers. Stir over medium heat until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add feta and stir until melted and creamy, about 2 minutes. Divide pasta among plates; sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, TOMATO SAUCE AND OLIVES
Perhaps because cauliflower is on the bland side and Mediterranean black olives have such a pronounced flavor, the two go beautifully together. In Italy, Greece and in North Africa, you find the triumvirate of cauliflower, tomatoes and olives in all sorts of dishes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower. Blanch for two minutes and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain and blot dry. Cover the pot; you'll use the water again for the pasta. Quarter the cauliflower florets, toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt generously. Transfer to a baking sheet, place in the oven and roast 30 minutes, stirring from time to time, until tender and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a wide, nonstick frying pan or a 3-quart saucepan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, thyme and salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower and the olives, and simmer a few minutes more. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Bring the water back to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until the pasta is al dente, usually about 10 minutes. Drain and toss with the cauliflower-tomato mixture. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and serve at once.

PASTA WITH TOMATOES, CAPERS, OLIVES AND BREADCRUMBS
Bread crumbs, crisped in olive oil with garlic, make a flavorful addition to just about any pasta. Make your own bread crumbs if you've got bread that's drying out, and keep them in the freezer.

Steps:
- Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the sliced garlic over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan or skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic turns golden, about two minutes. Do not let it take on any more color than this. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon and discard, then add the bread crumbs to the pan. Turn the heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until the bread crumbs are crisp. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium heat, and add the remaining olive oil, the red pepper flakes and the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic smells fragrant, and add the tomatoes, capers and olives. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the spaghetti. Cook al dente, following the cooking recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the suggested time. Drain, and toss with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the bread crumbs and parsley on top, toss again briefly and serve, passing the Parmesan at the table.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for sauce because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. To roast tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sauce, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sauce from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to splatter.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
- Add fresh herbs at the end: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, can add a burst of flavor to the sauce. Add them at the end of cooking to preserve their delicate flavor.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti with olives and tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The roasted tomatoes give the sauce a deep, rich flavor, and the olives add a salty, briny flavor that complements the tomatoes perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
