Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb acini di pepe pasta (1 1/4 cups) or 1/2 lb orzo pasta (1 1/4 cups)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tbsp)
1/4 tsp hot red pepper flakes
3 scallions, chopped
1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup crumbled french feta (3 oz)
lemon wedge, as an accompaniment

Directions:

Cook pasta in a 4- to 6- quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, then drain well in a coarse-mesh sieve.
Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, covered.
Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saute garlic, red pepper flakes, and scallions, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes.
Add spinach and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 4 minutes.
Toss pasta with spinach mixture and feta until combined.
Season with salt and pepper.
