Instructions
Cook the spaghetti, drain them, and return them to the pot. Keep warm and covered if making the sauce at the same time.
Fry the onion for 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, finely chopped capers, and finely chopped dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes.
In the last minute, add the garlic and fry for additional minute, not more.
Add the washed and chopped spinach, half of the parsley, and thyme. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the spinach completely "wilts.
Add the milk and stir in the cream cheese. Season with chili flakes, salt, and pepper to taste, but be cautious with the salt, because capers and feta are salty! Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Add half of the sauce to the spaghetti, and mix well to evenly distribute the sauce. Then add crumbled feta cheese and mix carefully.
Serve in a bowl and add extra sauce on top, and the rest of the fresh parsley.
