Recipe View 10 mins While the pasta is cooking, add the chopped tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil to the skillet with the remaining garlic-infused olive oil. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices, creating a light sauce. If the sauce becomes too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water. (10 minutes)

If needed, add a little more of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired sauce consistency.

Recipe View 1 mins Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!

For a richer flavor, consider using sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped, in place of the fresh tomatoes.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice touch of heat to this dish.
Don't overcook the shrimp, as they will become rubbery.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, as feta cheese can be quite salty.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as spinach or artichoke hearts, to the tomato sauce.
