In a large pot with a pinch of salt, boil water to cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
16 ounces spaghetti
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, crushed tomatoes, red wine vinegar, seasonings and garlic until blended. Stir in the capers and about 4 ounces of the feta cheese.
8 ounces cream cheese, 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, 3 tablespoons capers, kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Add the spaghetti and about ½ cup of the black olives into the sauce. Toss to blend equally. Transfer the spaghetti to the prepared casserole dish.
3/4 cup black olives
Bake the spaghetti for 20 minutes or until heated through.
Remove from the oven and top with the remaining black olives, remaining feta cheese, tomatoes, and cucumber.

- If you're watching your carbs, you can also make a low-carb casserole by swapping out the pasta for zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.

- For even more flavor, add a little bit of spaghetti seasoning or Mediterranean seasoning to the tomato sauce. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes. A teeny bit of ground cinnamon or allspice also gives this sauce a nice nod to Greece.

- Add ground beef or ground chicken to make a meat sauce for this Mediterranean pasta recipe if desired.

Cook your pasta just to al dente and reserve some pasta water. This helps you finish cooking it in the sauce for perfect texture.
