Spinach and Feta Pasta

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

Directions

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

2.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.



Julie: This turned out AWESOME!  We added some extra shrimp for protein/extra yummy-ness.  I am already looking forward to making this again!
 
Chad:  I was skeptical about this recipe because of the feta cheese and the apparent lack of sauce.  However, I must say that this recipe really impressed me.  Not only did it taste great, but it was super easy to make.  The only change that I might recommend and try when we make it again, is to add chicken.
