Spinach and feta bring a fresh Mediterranean flair to this pasta, balanced with olive oil and garlic for a satisfying, meatless main.

Ingredients

    1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta

    2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic, minced

    3 cups chopped tomatoes

    1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

    2 cups spinach leaves, packed salt and pepper to taste

    1 pinch red pepper flakes

    8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Method

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente; drain.

     

    Meanwhile, 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.
