Ingredients

    2 ½ cups penne rigate pasta (6 oz.)
    1 Tbs. olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
    1 12-oz. jar roasted red peppers, rinsed, drained, patted dry, and sliced
    10 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
    4 cups packed baby spinach leaves (8 oz.)
    ¼ cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
    1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh oregano
    1 ½ tsp. grated lemon zest
    ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain, and reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently, or until lightly browned.

3. Increase heat to high. Add roasted peppers, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

4. Add tomatoes, spinach, olives, oregano, lemon zest, and pepper. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until tomatoes soften and spinach wilts, stirring frequently. Add pasta and reserved pasta-cooking water; cover, and cook 3 minutes more, or until heated through.
