Ingredients
12oz penne pasta2T extra virgin olive oil1 clove garlic, minced1/2c. sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and drained2T of fresh parsley, chopped1T of fresh basil, chopped5oz baby spinach4oz crumbled feta cheese1/2c. kalamata olives
**You can add more spinach if you'd like. I reduced the amount due to the fact that my family doesn't care much for it.
***If kalamata olives are too pricey, you can buy black pitted olives and soak them in red-wine vinegar before cooking.
1. Prepare the pasta according to the box directions. (I like to add a dash of salt and olive oil)
2. Drain the pasta.
3. In the same pot, heat the oil. Add the garlic and soute, for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, and basil, and cook stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes. Add the pasta, spinach, cheese, and olives.
