Cook the spaghetti in lightly salted water with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, until tender, but with a bite. Drain the pasta, and toss with the remaining olive oil. Set aside, remembering to keep warm. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and bring to simmer. Pour the brandy into another small saucepan until simmering. Let neither pan boil!Remove both pans from heat and combine. Cut the smoked salmon into strips and add to the cream mixture. Season with cayenne and black pepper. Just before serving, stir in the chopped, fresh coriander. Transfer the spaghetti to a serving dish, pour the sauce over, tossing thoroughly. Scatter the crumbled feta on top and garnish with yet more coriander (you can substitute this with parsley if coriander does not appeal). Serve immediately.
