Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb orecchiette
salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of liquid
3 -4 ounces roasted red peppers, chopped (use a kind packed in olive oil)
4 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Place orecchiette in plenty of salted, boiling water and cook according to package directions (approximately 9 minutes) until al dente.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan and add minced garlic. Allow to cook for only about a minute (to soften). Add chopped spinach and season with salt and pepper (not too much salt, as feta will add saltiness).
  • Add roasted red pepper and cook over low heat until spinach and peppers are heated through. Keep warm over a low heat until pasta is ready.
  • When pasta is done cooking, add feta to the spinach mixture. Using a spider, take orecchiette from boiling water (reserving water) and add to spinach mixture on top of the feta. Toss pasta with mixture until thoroughly combined, then add pasta water (about 1/2 cup) until mixture is creamy and moistened.
  • Serve immediately.

The sauce was a little bland. I would add some more garlic and herbs next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less feta cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this dish. The roasted red peppers and feta cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach. I would definitely make this dish again.
