Spinach and Feta Pasta

Okay, first day on the veg diet and we have a successful recipe. It was so good, I thought about licking the bowl.

I found this recipe somewhere on the web. I don't really remember now. I am going to have to start writing this stuff down and giving people credit for their goods.



This was a pretty quick dish. It probably took about 20-30 minutes.



Here we go.....



Ingredients:

1 (8oz) package of Penne Pasta (I used regular spaghetti, I am weird with pasta) - Also note that I used whole wheat pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 chopped onion

1 clove of garlic, minced

3 cups chopped tomatoes

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (I don't like mushrooms, I left this out)

2 cups spinach leaves, packed (I will use more next time, since I left out the mushrooms)

salt and pepper to taste

1 pinch of red pepper flakes

8 oz feta cheese (I used low fat)



Directions:

1. Uh... do I need to really tell you how to cook pasta? I'll skip that step. If you can't cook pasta, please step slowly away from the kitchen and no one gets hurt.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat: add onion and garlic, and cook until golden brown. Mix in tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook 2 minutes more, until tomatoes are heated through and spinach is wilted. Reduce heat to medium, stir in pasta and feta cheese, and cook until heated through.
