Indulge in a comforting bowl of Pasta con Spinaci e Feta tonight to experience a delightful blend of flavors and nutrition, perfect for a cozy meal!

1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 300 grams of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 to 10 minutes.

2

While the pasta cooks, wash and roughly chop 200 grams of spinach. Set aside.

3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

4

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.

5

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta. Add the drained pasta directly to the skillet with the spinach.

6

Crumble 150 grams of feta cheese over the pasta and spinach. Toss gently to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce.

7

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the pasta and toss once more to mix all ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

8

Serve hot, garnished with additional feta cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.
