Low Fat Mediterranean Shrimp and Pasta

8 ounces thin spaghetti
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans pasta-style chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound large shrimp
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided (see note)

Place spaghetti in 2-1/2 quarts of boiling unsalted water; cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, place tomatoes and garlic in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. While tomatoes cook, peel shrimp. Add them to skillet; stir well. Cook, stirring from time to time, just until shrimp are opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove skillet from the heat.

Drain noodles; divide among 4 plates. Top with sauce and shrimp. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon feta cheese over each serving.

Yield: 4 servings.
