Method
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti to packet instructions. Drain and return to the pan with 100ml of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins, stirring regularly, until softened. Add the garlic, cook for 30 secs, then stir through the olives and capers.
- Tip the onion mixture into the pan with the spaghetti and stir through the tahini, along with a generous grind of black pepper, tossing until the pasta is evenly coated in a glossy sauce. If it looks too thick or grainy, add a splash of boiling water to the pan.
- To serve, divide the spaghetti between 4 plates and top with the feta and basil leaves.
