Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces farfalle pasta (3 cups)
1 small red onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg

This was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less feta cheese, or using a different type of cheese altogether.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used frozen spinach, and it worked out just fine. I also added some chopped mushrooms, which gave it a nice earthy flavor.

This was a great recipe! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of pasta. I used penne, but I think a shorter pasta, such as macaroni or shells, would be better.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and oregano, and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan.
