Instructions
Preparing the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
Making the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combining
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Serving
Transfer the pasta to serving plates. Top with crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and mint.
Serve warm and enjoy your Turkish Pasta!
