I came up with this recipe one night, just rumaging through the pantry and fridge, wanting to make something simple and quick with what I had on hand, that the kids would enjoy as well! Ingredients:
1 (1 lb) box of mini penne pasta |
3 garlic cloves, sliced in half and crushed |
1 small onion, chopped |
1/2 cup pine nuts |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
6 ounces baby spinach |
8 ounces feta cheese |
olive oil |
Directions:
1. Boil pasta in medium saucepan about 9 minutes, or according to directions on box.
2. About 5 minutes into boiling, add garlic, onion and pine nuts to melted butter in deep skillet or saute pan. Cook 2-4 minutes on medium-high heat, or until onions are crisp-tender.
3. Add tomatoes with juice and cook additional 2 minutes, or until tomatoes are heated through.
4. Add spinach and gently toss until leaves are JUST wilted and immediately remove from heat.
5. After pasta has been drained, add skillet ingredients, tossing well.
6. Crumble feta, if it did not come that way, and add to pasta, tossing gently.
7. Drizzle with just enough olive oil to lightly coat pasta.
8. Enjoy!
