Feta Cheese for topping

1. Boil pasta according to directions until al dente. Set aside. 

2. Mash garlic, capers, and olives in mortar and pestle or chop finely. Set Aside. 

3. Heat oil and slightly brown onions (don't burn them!). Add crushed tomatoes. Pour in wine and cook for a few minutes. Add olive mixture and continue cooking until sauce is slightly reduced. Add salt and pepper to taste.
