SPINACH AND FETA PASTA



Spinach and Feta Pasta image

An all time favorite of mine, I got this recipe from Allrecipes posted by Suki. It's fast and easy to make and tastes fantastic. Crusty rolls for mopping up the juices is all that's needed to finish the meal. I use lots more of the red pepper flakes to add zing and probably more feta as well since it's my favorite cheese. It's a real filling dinner for those nights when we want to eat vegetarian and DH requests this one frequently.

Pasta With Spinach, Feta and Olives image

Mediterranean-inspired salad served warm. Also delicious cold. Don't add salt - the feta, olives and capers provide plenty. A short sturdy pasta works best such as bowties, shells, elbows.

CARAMELIZED ONION-FETA AND SPINACH PASTA



CARAMELIZED ONION-FETA AND SPINACH PASTA image

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds onion, slivered
8 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or butter
salt and pepper
8 ounces whole-wheat pasta
5 ounces salad spinach, chopped
8 ounces feta cheese, drained and crumbled
1/2 cup green olive, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • To caramelize onions, warm oil in a large pot, then add the slivered onions. Stir over high heat until the onions start to soften, then reduce to medium. Stir for another five minutes, until they start to stick. Reduce heat to lowest setting and stir every five minutes for an hour. If you want to keep going, you can keep caramelizing them until they are shrunken to two cups. You can also caramelize in the slow cooker-just put the oil and onions in overnight on low. When you can watch them, take off the lid and turn it up to high to cook down the liquids. They should not be soupy. Season with salt and pepper if desired, mstore your cooled onions in the fridge. Makes about 3 cups, depending on how long you cook them. For pasta, cook the pasta, and while it drains, heat a cup of onions in the same pot, and add the spinach and hot pasta, toss over medium heat until the spinach wilts. Add feta, olives and oregano. Toss the pasta and season with salt and pepper.
