Bring the pasta water to a boil. Dice the tomatoes and peppers. Slice the mushrooms (smaller mushrooms can be left whole). Wash everything beforehand, of course. Cut the feta cheese into pieces. Add the pasta to boiling water and cook according to the package instructions (usually 10-15 minutes). Don’t forget the salt! Heat a large pan with a little oil and sauté the mushrooms. Then add the peppers and tomatoes. Stir occasionally. When a nice broth has formed (if none forms, simply add a little water with vegetable broth), add the feta cheese and stir vigorously. Season with oregano, salt, pepper, optionally chili, and a pinch of sugar, and season to taste. The pasta should be done by now. Drain and let it drain briefly. Add everything to the pan and stir well. Add more seasoning if necessary. Now just enjoy. As always when cooking, feel free to experiment with the recipe. Zucchini, onions, and eggplant also work well. If you don’t have a large pan, mix the pasta and pan in a casserole dish.
